Making Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice One-Pot is simple and straightforward. Just follow these steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken breasts to the pot. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Rice: Stir in the rice and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Mix in Broccoli: Once boiling, add the broccoli florets, stir well, and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.
6. Add Milk and Cheese: Once the rice and broccoli are cooked, stir in the milk and half the shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
7. Serve: Remove the pot from the heat, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, and cover until the cheese melts. Serve warm.
