How to Make 15 Minute Chicken Broccoli And Rice Dinner

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add cream of broccoli soup and milk to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in uncooked rice and broccoli florets.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
