chicken
(chicken breast, chicken thighs, etc.)
1
cup
white rice
2
cups
frozen broccoli
(or one 12oz bag)
1 1/2
cup
chicken broth
1
cup
shredded cheese of choice
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Cut your chicken into ~1 inch cubes
On medium heat, brown the cut chicken in a large pot (you may use a tbsp of oil if desired)
Once the chicken is browned, push it to the side of the pot using a spatula
In the grease of the chicken, toast the rice on the empty side of the pot for about a minute
Once the rice is toasted, pour in the chicken broth and stir it in until well-combined with the chicken and rice
Now bring the pot to a simmer and cover and cook for 24 minutes
After the dish has been cooking for 24 minutes, remove the lid and sprinkle the frozen broccoli on top
Mix the broccoli in and then cover the pot again and cook for another 6 minutes
Once the broccoli is cooked into the chicken and rice, mix in the shredded cheese and enjoy!
Notes
Add in diced onions and garlic when browning the chicken for extra flavor.
