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.

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.
