2. Cook one cup of rice in two cups of water. I usually rinse the rice and add it to cold water, then monitor its readiness and stir occasionally. Cooking the rice will take about 20 minutes.

3. Cut broccoli into florets. Boil in boiling water or steam. You can also use frozen broccoli. If using frozen, add it to boiling water for just a couple of minutes, as the vegetable cooks very quickly. Usually, the package of frozen broccoli includes cooking instructions.

4. Then mix all the ingredients in a large bowl: pieces of boiled chicken, broccoli, cooked rice, grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour in the cream and mix again. By the way, set aside some of the grated cheese—we'll sprinkle it on top of the dish before baking.
