If you're looking for a quick-cooking dish that's got lots of great flavor, try this savory sauté featuring golden chicken, peas, thyme-seasoned rice and Parmesan cheese. 

Ingredients

cost per recipe: $9.15

  • 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 3/4 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth or Chicken Stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked instant white rice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Ingredient Note: We develop our recipes using a 4-to 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast half per serving. However, there are a range of sizes available in-store, from the butcher counter to the meat case and the freezer section. Use whichever you prefer- just follow the recipe as written above for the best result. If you're using larger chicken breasts they may require a little longer cooking time.

  • Step 1

    Season the chicken with the garlic powder and black pepper.

  • Step 2

    Cook the chicken in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until well browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.

  • Step 3

    Heat the broth and thyme in the skillet over medium-high heat to a boil. Stir in the rice. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the peas. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender. Stir the cheese into the rice mixture before serving.

    I'm making this for dinner tonight but going to try brown rice instead of white. Hoping that works just as well :)

    I agree with the other reviewer who suggested regular rice instead of instant rice. I think I might try it with whole grain rice next time. The kids seem to like it, though, and that's a plus in my book!

    Next time I will use regular rice(and a little more fluid) cook for @15min then add the peas for the last 5-8 minutes ...I didn't really like the texture of the quick rice. However, it was very tasty overall
