  • Spread the chicken pieces into the bottom of the prepared pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the cream, chicken broth and dijon in a large saucepan and cook over medium-high until boiling, about 8 minutes.  Alternately, you can do this in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave.
  • Add the rice to the boiling mixture, then pour over the chicken in the baking dish.  Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Pat the broccoli dry, then add it and the cheddar cheese to the chicken mixture in the baking dish, stirring to combine.  Sprinkle the Ritz crumbs over the top.  Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the edges are bubbling and the crumbs are browned, about 5-10 minutes.
