Preparation

Step 1

Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Add the olive oil to a large, deep skillet and heat until shimmering.

Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook, stirring often, until chicken is nearly cooked through and browned on the outside.

Add the rice, carrots, and garlic to the pan and stir to combine. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Cover pan and cook for over medium low heat for 10 minutes.

Remove lid and stir well. Add the broccoli and cover the pan.

Continue cooking for 10 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the rice is tender.

Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the cheese on top of the rice mixture. Cover with a lid for 5 minutes to allow cheese to melt.
