In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté diced onions until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Next, add in bite-sized pieces of chicken and cook until they are slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in the broth and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

During the final 5-7 minutes of cooking, remove the lid and stir in the broccoli.

Once the broccoli is tender, remove the pot from heat and add your choice of cheese. Stir until the cheese melts seamlessly into the dish.

Let the Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Rice sit, covered, for about 5 minutes. Afterwards, fluff it with a fork before serving.
