Step 2
Add water or milk and soup to skillet. Stir to combine, and bring to a boil.
Step 3
Mix in rice, peas and cheese. Top with chicken and cover.
Step 4
Cook on low for 5 minutes. Season with black pepper, if using.
Recipe Tips
If you don’t have a nonstick skillet, increase oil to 2 tablespoons to help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
If you want to add more flavor to this dish, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of dried and crushed oregano leaves to the soup when adding it to the skillet.
If peas aren’t your thing, sliced mushrooms, red peppers or asparagus make great substitutions.
