About this recipe
Chicken with broccoli and rice is a simple skillet dinner made with tender chicken, a green vegetable, and plain rice. Broccoli adds color and a little crunch, while garlic deepens the flavor without creating a heavy sauce. Sear the chicken in olive oil first, then add the broccoli later so it retains its texture and does not fall apart in the skillet. Cook the rice separately and serve it immediately with the hot chicken and vegetables. It is a substantial but still fairly light dinner.
Ingredients
Servings: 3
300 g chicken breast
1 small head of broccoli
120 g rice
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Steps
Cook the rice according to the water ratio and cooking time given on the package, then let it stand covered for 5 minutes after cooking.
Cut the broccoli into small florets and steam for 4–5 minutes, until firm but easy to pierce with a fork.
Cut the chicken into 2–3 cm pieces and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and cook the meat for 6–8 minutes, stirring, until almost cooked through; add the chopped garlic for the final 30–60 seconds.
Add the broccoli to the chicken and heat for about 1 minute, until the chicken is fully cooked in the center.
Serve immediately with the cooked rice.
