Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until no longer pink and cooked throughout. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add ¼ cup diced yellow onion and 1 clove minced garlic to a pan. Saute until tender.
Add the 1 cup white rice, and continue to toast it for about a minute or two. Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth and cover the pan with the lid. Simmer the rice mixture for 15 minutes.
Add 4 cups chopped broccoli florets to the rice mixture and place the lid back on. This will steam the broccoli.
Once the rice is tender, add ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ¼ teaspoon paprika then stir to combine.
Add the chicken back to the pan and stir to combine. Top with 1 ¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese and put the lid back on for a few minutes to let the cheese melt. Stir in the melted cheese and serve warm.
