Notes

  • Be sure to cut chicken into bite sized pieces for faster browning/cooking.
  • We recommend Minute Rice to cut down on cook time. And brown rice will be more nutritious than white.
  • You can totally swap the peas for a veggie of your choice, i.e. broccoli, carrots, corn, beans, etc.
  • To plate...serve this chicken pea dish topped with extra parmesan cheese as desired.
