Description
This cheesy chicken and broccoli rice dish is a comforting one-pan meal that is easy to prepare and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- ½ a yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp kosher salt (more to taste, start with ½ tsp if using fine table salt)
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- ½ Tbsp dijon mustard
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prep the cheese mixture. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cheeses, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Chop the yellow onion, mince the garlic, and cut the broccoli florets into small pieces.
- Heat a large skillet on medium to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Once heated, add the onion, garlic, chicken, and seasonings. Cook 6-8 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165℉ (75°C).
- Add the rice and broth. Bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- To the skillet, add the broccoli. Give it a stir. Cover again and simmer 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn off the heat and add the cheese mixture on top. Stir it in until the cheese melts and Greek yogurt is mixed in completely. Give it a taste and add more salt as needed.
Notes
- Depending on your pan and stovetop, it may require a longer cooking time for the liquid to fully absorb.
