Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Add the diced onion and saute until just tender. This should take just a few minutes.
Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the chicken is just cooked through.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Move the cooked chicken over to one side of the pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
To that oil, add the uncooked rice and stir to coat. About 2 minutes.
Add the broth, give it a stir and cover until the rice is almost cooked but some liquid remains. This should take about 12-15 minutes or so.
Add the broccoli, give it a stir and cover again until the broccoli is tender and the rice has absorbed the liquid. About 8-10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add one half of the cheese. Stir to combine.
Top with the remaining cheese and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
