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.
