Method
- STEP 1
Heat oil in a large pan and cook the onion and garlic for 5 mins. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 min more, until it starts to look transparent. Pour in the wine and keep stirring until all the liquid is absorbed.
- STEP 2
Add the stock and simmer until the rice is just tender. Stir through the chicken, thyme and peas, then cook for 2 mins or until the chicken is warmed through. Add the crème fraîche and parmesan with some seasoning, then remove from the heat. Cover with a lid and leave to stand for 2 mins before serving with extra parmesan, if you like.
