Method
0 of 6 done- Pour the vegetable oil into a large saucepan set over a medium-high hob. Finely chop the onion, then add it to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring now and then, until softened and lightly browned.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and continue to cook for a further minute.
- Tip the long grain rice and chicken stock into the pan and stir everything together. Put a lid on the pan and bring the liquid to a simmer.
- Turn the heat down and leave the rice to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until tender and the mixture has a creamy consistency. If it seems too thick, add a splash of water.
- Stir in the frozen peas and half of the grated cheese. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the peas are hot through.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Serve the remaining cheese on the side for sprinkling over.
