Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil then add the orzo.

Cook the orzo for 4 minutes, then add the chopped broccoli florets and cook for another 2 minutes until the orzo is tender.

Drain the orzo and broccoli well, ensuring all water is removed as broccoli tends to retain water.

Return the orzo and broccoli to the pot and add the shredded cheddar cheese, unsalted butter, whole milk, and chicken broth.

Stir well to combine all ingredients and continue to cook on low heat till everything is well incorporated and the dish becomes creamy.

Taste and adjust seasoning if required. Serve hot.
