1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾-inch pieces
4 cups broccoli florets, cut into small pieces (about 1 medium head)

For the sauce

2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
3 tbsp gluten free flour
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp dijon mustard
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2
Combine the rice and 3 cups chicken broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, until the broth is absorbed and the rice is just barely tender. Remove from heat and set aside — the rice will finish cooking in the oven.
