Ingredients
  

1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)

1 cup cream of chicken soup (or a homemade version)

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Sauté Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Sauté until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Mix Base Ingredients: In the same skillet, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, and cooked rice. Stir well to combine. Add the cooked chicken and broccoli florets into the mixture, stirring until everything is well coated.

        Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving a handful for topping. Mix everything together until well incorporated.

          Bake: Level out the mixture in the skillet, then sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the top. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

            Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

              Enjoy! Serve warm, and savor the creamy cheesy goodness of this one-pan dish!
