Instructions

1
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high and brown the chicken, about 4 minutes, then push to one side.
3
Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
4
Stir in the rice and chicken stock, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes.
5
Stir in the frozen peas, scatter the cheddar over the top, cover, and let melt 3 minutes off the heat.
6
Fluff gently and serve straight from the skillet.
