Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 1 (8 ounce) package frozen broccoli
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Step 1:
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Step 2:
    Heat an oven-safe pot over medium-high heat; stir rice and 2 tablespoons oil together in the hot saucepan to coat the rice with oil. Pour hot water over the rice; bring to a boil and place a cover on the pot.
  • Step 3:
    Bake rice in preheated oven until the water is absorbed and rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Step 4:
    Place broccoli into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and season broccoli with salt and pepper.
  • Step 5:
    Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken to hot oil, season with garlic powder and onion powder. Saute chicken until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Step 6:
    Stir onion into the chicken; continue cooking until onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Step 7:
    Spoon rice into the skillet; cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir broccoli into the rice mixture; sprinkle lemon zest and lemon juice over the mixture and stir. Top with Parmesan cheese.
