Notes

After cooking, I like to place this under the broiler in the oven for about 2-3 minutes to crisp up the broccoli and darken the chicken just a tad.

I say this makes 4 servings because with each person getting a chicken thigh and rice, it feeds 4 at our house. If you're extra extra hungry you may want to make extra rice or serve with more side items or a green salad.
