Melt butter on medium in a large pan. Stir in chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add chopped chicken, garlic and seasonings. Stir together and cook until chicken is golden and no longer pink on the inside.
Add chicken broth and rice , stir together, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is fully cooked. Stir in milk, peas and cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Enjoy!
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.
