9. 9

   Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the uncooked rice, broccoli florets, and the prepared chicken pieces until everything is evenly combined.

11. 11

    Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.

    Napomena kuhara: The dish is done when the rice is tender, the liquid is mostly absorbed, and the chicken is cooked through.

12. 12

    Remove from the oven and let it rest, still covered, for 5 minutes before serving.

    Oko 5 min

    Napomena kuhara: Resting allows the last bit of liquid to be absorbed and makes the casserole easier to serve.
