Reheat broccoli an additional 2 minutes when rice and chicken are done.
Combine rice and water in a microwave-safe pot or casserole.

When timer rings, reduce heat for chicken to a low simmer.
Microwave rice at high for 10 minutes, then at medium for 10 minutes.
When timer rings for rice both the chicken and rice are ready. Remove rice from microwave and let stand while you set the table.
