Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping the broccoli into small florets.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and heat until shimmering. Cook chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Sprinkle garlic powder over the cooked chicken and cook for an additional minute.
- Add chicken broth to the skillet, bringing it to a simmer. Stir in rice and broccoli; cover and cook according to rice package instructions (approximately 15-20 minutes).
- Once the rice has absorbed the liquid and the broccoli is tender-crisp, remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted.
- Toss gently to combine everything; serve hot garnished with additional cheese if desired.
