Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Incorporate the diced chicken breast into the pot. Season with salt and pepper; cook until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
Pour in the chicken broth followed by rinsed long-grain rice. Stir well to combine.
Gently fold in the broccoli florets. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
Simmer for approx. 18-20 minutes or until the rice absorbs most of the liquid and is tender.
Remove from heat, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy; adjust seasonings if necessary before serving hot.
