Method

1
Warm a large skillet over medium heat.
2
Add the cooked diced chicken, cooked rice, small-diced broccoli, and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine and break up any clumps of rice.
3
Cover and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is just tender and bright green and the broth has mostly been absorbed.
4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar, folding it through until it melts completely into a creamy sauce that coats the rice and chicken, about 2 minutes.
5
If the mixture looks dry, splash in a little extra broth or water; if it looks loose, let it cook uncovered another minute to thicken.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot straight from the skillet.
