Servings: persons

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 3/4 cups milk
freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite-size pieces
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1
Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add rice and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, milk, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Season with pepper.
2
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally so that rice doesn't stick to the pot. Add chicken, stir to combine, and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Add more water if the rice absorbs it all before becoming tender.
3
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
4
Remove pot from heat. Stir in peas and 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Taste and season with more salt to taste. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
5
Place under the broiler and cook until cheese turns golden brown in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
