Instructions
Cooking the Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice One-Pot is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to create this delightful dish:
1. Heat the Pot: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Rice: Stir in the uncooked rice to the chicken. Mix well to combine the flavors.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Add Broccoli: Once boiling, stir in the broccoli florets. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and is tender.
6. Add Cheese: Remove the pot from heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
7. Serve: Once the cheese has melted, gently stir the mixture to combine it all together.
This straightforward process helps you create a restaurant-quality dish right in the comfort of your home.
