Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the chopped chicken breast, seasoning with salt and pepper; cook until browned on all sides (approximately 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the rice and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
Gently fold in the broccoli florets, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is fully cooked.
Remove from heat and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top; cover briefly to allow cheese to melt before serving.
