1
Heat an 8-quart pot over medium-high heat and add extra virgin olive oil.
2
Dice the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, then add it to the pot. Sprinkle with ground black pepper and smoked paprika, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
3
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
4
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a boil.
5
Stir in the Arborio rice and chopped fresh broccoli florets, then cover the pot and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until rice is almost tender (al dente), about 15-20 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine unsalted butter and all-purpose flour, mashing with a fork until completely combined.
7
Stir the flour mixture into the soup, mixing well, then let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken.
8
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken further before serving.
