It should be pretty obvious from the title where I
found this recipe. I made just a few tweaks to the original. This really
makes a great dish; surprisingly flavorful and a one-dish meal to boot.
Preparation Time: 45 minutes Serving Size: 4

Heat oven to 160°. Wash and pat dry the chicken. Salt
and pepper to taste. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off
excess. In large skillet, heat oil and 4 tablespoons butter
over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 minutes per side
to brown. Remove from skillet to a deep-sided dish. Remove
skillet from heat, allow to cool 1 minute and stir in lemon
juice and parsley; pour over chicken, cover with foil and
set in warm oven. Return the same pan to a medium heat and
add 2 tablespoons butter. Add rice and pasta from package
and stir until well browned, about 5 minutes. Open seasoning
packet and stir into browned rice/pasta. Carefully and
slowly pour in 2 cups water. Bring to a boil then reduce
heat to medium-low; cover and cook 10 minutes. Place
broccoli on rice and cover. Cook another 5 to 10 minutes, or
until rice/pasta has absorbed water and broccoli is tender.
Add back chicken and pour sauce over all ingredients. Evenly
divide cheese and sprinkle on the chicken pieces; cover and
remove from heat. Let stand a few minutes then serve.
