One Pot Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice
One pot cheesy chicken broccoli rice is a quick & easy skillet
dinner that is also gluten-free! Only a few simple ingredients and you

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into small, bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt I use kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup basmati rice uncooked
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 bag (12 oz) frozen steamable broccoli about 2 cups chopped broccoli
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
Instructions
-
In a 12-inch skillet pan (make sure it has a lid) heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the chunked, bite-sized chicken, and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is mostly non-pink in the middle.
-
Add rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover with lid, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is cooked.
-
While rice and chicken is simmering, cook the microwaveable broccoli in the microwave following the instructions on package. Once done, chop up the broccoli into smaller pieces, if wanted.
-
When rice is done cooking, add broccoli and 1 cup of the cheese into the skillet pan. Stir together. Top with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese and cover with the lid. Let cook for about 2 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
-
Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
You can use long-grain white rice instead of the basmati. I just love basmati rice because it cooks up perfectly and is always no-fail.If you don't want to use the 12 oz bag of microwaveable broccoli, simply cook fresh broccoli in a pot, and then chop it and add it to the skillet pan. Using the microwaveable broccoli makes it so easy and quick.
