Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Oil DIVIDED (1 tbsp for onions, 1 tbsp for rice)
- 1/4 c Onion finely diced
- 1/2 lb Boneless Chicken Thighs diced
- 1/2 tsp Garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 c Uncooked Long Grain White Rice
- 1 1/4 c Broccoli chopped
- 1 1/4 c Vegetable (or Chicken) Broth
- 1 c Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese or shredded Cheddar blend
- 1 tbsp Parsley chopped
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.
