  9. Add the frozen peas to the skillet and stir gently to combine.
  10. Cover the skillet with the lid and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the chicken is tender and cooked.
  11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.
  • You can use brown rice instead of white rice, but you will need to adjust the cooking time and add more liquid.
  • You can add other vegetables to the skillet, such as diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
