Stovetop Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole

By: Lou • In: Entrees • Cuisine: American, Italian

This is a great one-pot/pan dish that is quick and easy to make. It is perfect for a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time.

The recipe calls for All Purpose Chicken Seasoning but I use either Guga’s Rub or Clucker Dust.

Stovetop Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast
  • 2.5 tbsp Chicken Seasoning (separated, or use the seasoning/rub of your choice)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Onion (large, white, diced)
  • 1 tbsp Garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Long Grain Rice (uncooked)
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup Asiago Cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: 

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch chunks and toss the chicken with 1.5 tablespoons of all purpose chicken seasoning. Be sure the chicken is covered in chicken seasoning. Set aside. Measure out and have the rest of your ingredients ready. This can be done in advance.

Step 2:

Heat a large skillet (that has a cover) over medium/high heat. Add olive oil.

Step 3:

When the olive oil is fragrant add the onion to the skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic to the onion and saute for another minute.

Step 4:

Add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet pan and brown the chicken for 2 minutes on each side.

Step 5:

Move the chicken pieces to one side of the skillet and add the rice to the cleared side of the skillet. Toast the rice in the skillet for 3 minutes.

Step 6:

Toss the toasted rice with the chicken breast, onion, and garlic and then add the broth, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon of chicken seasoning to the skillet and mix.

Step 7:

Bring the broth to a boil, stir, and turn heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the rice mixture simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 8:

Uncover the skillet and add the broccoli florets. Fold the broccoli into the mixture and cover. Cook everything together for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 9:

Remove the cover and sprinkle the cheese over the top of the rice, chicken, and broccoli. Cover and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
