Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 - 1 1/2 pounds chicken, cubed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup finely chopped onions
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in an oven safe, heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add in cubed, raw chicken and season it with salt and pepper. Cook chicken for 5 minutes until exterior gets some browning.
- Add in the onions and garlic and sauté alongside the chicken until the onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

- Pour the milk in slowly while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Pour in broth, thyme, and oregano. Bring this to a boil and then turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover and cook until the rice is almost cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the broccoli and gently stir it around. Cover again and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Top with the remaining cheese and place under broiler for a few minutes to achieve additional browning (optional, but recommended).
