This chicken, broccoli, and rice skillet is a complete dinner in one dish–entrée, vegetable, and rice–essentially a casserole that does not heat up the whole kitchen, and cheese tops it off. It’s a great choice for family weeknights.

Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, diced
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup orzo (optional)
1 (6.3 ounce) box garlic and herb rice mix
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
12 ounces broccoli florets
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Directions
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir onions until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken to the skillet; cook and stir until golden, about 5 minutes.
Add orzo and rice with seasoning packet to skillet. In a medium bowl, stir together chicken broth, milk, cream of chicken soup, oregano, and garlic; pour mixture into skillet. Stir to combine; add broccoli florets
Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice and orzo are tender with a bite and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes
Turn on the oven’s broiler and set a rack 6 inches below the heating element. Sprinkle cheese over the skillet, and broil until cheese is golden and melted, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
