One-Pan Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Skillet Bake
  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken to the skillet; cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the orzo and the rice with the seasoning packet to the skillet. In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken broth, milk, cream of chicken soup, oregano, and garlic; pour the mixture into the skillet. Stir to combine; add the broccoli florets.

  4. 4

    Lower the heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice and orzo are tender with a slight bite and the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Turn on the oven’s broiler and position a rack 6 inches below the heating element. Sprinkle the cheese over the skillet, and broil until the cheese is golden and melted, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
