In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Stir in the orzo and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until orzo is tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Stir in the broccoli and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
Pour in the heavy cream and cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
Serve hot, and enjoy your comforting one-pot meal!

For best results, brown the chicken well and watch the orzo closely as cooking times may vary. Freshly grated cheese yields creamier results.
