instructions
    1

    Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions; this usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    3

    Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper and add it to the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked.

    4

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. After resting, slice it into strips.

    5

    In the same skillet, add the broccoli and cook for about 5 minutes or until it is bright green and tender yet crisp.

    6

    Add the sliced chicken back to the skillet with the broccoli and pour the BBQ sauce over the mix. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

    7

    To serve, place a portion of the cooked rice in a bowl, top with the BBQ chicken and broccoli mixture, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
