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

  • 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

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

  • 12 ounces broccoli florets

  • 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir onions until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken to the skillet; cook and stir until golden, about 5 minutes.

  3. 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

  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice and orzo are tender with a bite and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes
