Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cubed chicken breasts, cooking for approximately 5 minutes until the chicken is browned and the onion becomes translucent.
  2. Once the chicken and onions are ready, stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Incorporate 1 cup of uncooked rice, 1 can of cream of chicken soup, and 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth into the skillet. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 2 cups of broccoli florets and half of the cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Top the casserole with the remaining cheddar cheese and broil for about 3 to 5 minutes until golden.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
