Meanwhile, start to cook the chicken. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan over a medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes or until it's no longer pink in the middle and slightly golden on the outside. Remove from the pan and add the remaining oil along with the onions. Sauté the onions until soft before adding the rice to the pan and toasting for 1 min. Transfer the chicken and broccoli to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Ladle about 3 scoops of the hot water and stir it in continuously with the rice until it is completely absorbed. Keep repeating this until all the water is used and the rice is tender, which should take about 20 minutes.
