Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Heat an oven-safe pot over medium-high heat, stir rice and 2 tablespoons oil together in the hot saucepan to coat the rice with oil. Pour hot water over the rice, bring to a boil and place a cover on the pot.

  3. Bake rice in preheated oven until the water is absorbed and rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

  4. Place broccoli into a large pot and cover with salted water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and season broccoli with salt and pepper.

  5. Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken to hot oil, season with garlic powder and onion powder. Saute chicken until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

  6. Stir onion into the chicken, continue cooking until onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

  7. Spoon rice into the skillet, cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir broccoli into the rice mixture, sprinkle lemon zest and lemon juice over the mixture and stir. Top with Parmesan cheese.
