Ingredients

5 servings

2 tbsp (30g ) unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (, finely chopped)
2 g arlic cloves (, minced)
500 g (1 lb) chicken thigh (, cut into bite size pieces (Note 1))
2.5 tbsp flour ((or 1 ½ tbsp. cornflour / cornstarch))
2 cups (500 ml) milk ((any, I use low fat))
2 cups (500 ml) chicken broth
1 1/4 cups (225g) long grain white rice (, uncooked (Note 2))
1 tsp dried thyme (or other herb of choice)
Salt and pepper
1 large head of broccoli, broken / cut into small florets (~400 - 500g / 14 oz - 1 lb) ((Note 3))
2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella or cheddar ((or other cheese of choice) (Note 4))
Finely chopped parsley (, optional garnish)

Steps

Melt butter and heat oil in a pot over high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 1 minute. Add chicken and cook until it changes from pink to white. (Note 5)
Turn stove DOWN to medium. Add flour and stir for 1 minute.
Add half the milk, stirring as you go, and once incorporated into the flour add the rest of the milk and stir.
Add broth, rice, thyme and a just pinch of salt and pepper.
Stir, bring to simmer, then cover. Turn down to medium low and cook for 12 minutes.
Remove lid – there should still be liquid on the surface. Working quickly, add broccoli, push down so it’s partly submerged, cover and cook for a further 3 minutes until broccoli is just cooked.
Preheat grill/broiler. Remove lid and stir through half the cheese – don’t worry if it looks a bit too saucy, excess liquid gets sucked up in minutes (see video). Smooth surface, top with remaining cheese. Grill/broil until melted (or just put lid on and allow to melt with residual heat on turned off stove).
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if desired.
