Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
16 oz. boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite size chunks (about 1 1/2 inch cubes))
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper pepper
1 cup chopped carrots ((about 2 large carrots))
1 cup sliced celery ((about 2 stalks))
1 cup diced yellow onion ((about 1 small onion))
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1 large dried bay leaf
1 cup frozen baby peas
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Add the oil to a large, non-stick, high-sided skillet (one that has a lid) and place over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Cook 2 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the rice, chicken broth, milk and bay leaf. Bring the liquid to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat (low to medium-low) so the liquid is simmering. Cover the skillet. Cook 20-23 minutes until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the baby peas and parmesan cheese. Remove the skillet from the heat. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Let the rice rest uncovered for 5 minutes before serving.
