Preheat a skillet, that has a lid, to medium heat and add the oil, chicken, onions, and salt and pepper and cook until the chicken is cooked through.

Add the butter, rice, and garlic and cook this until the rice has toasted about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the chicken broth and worchestershire sauce and bring this to a boil. Reduce the heat so that it is at a simmer and put a lid on the pot and cook this for 15 minutes. Check the liquid after about 8 minutes to make sure it is not getting to dry. If it is add a little more chicken broth to it.

Remove the lid and the add the broccoli and the heavy whipping cream. Cook this for about another 5 minutes. Tip: To cut the broccoli into small pieces wash the broccoli crowns and then take a sharp knife and shave the florets until you get to the stem.

Note: You can use precooked chicken or canned chicken to make this meal if you prefer to.

I like to serve this with a side salad or some toasty bread on the side.
