    Carefully, remove tray from oven. Remove chicken to a plate. Add rice, cream base, 1/4 tsp. salt, peas, and cheese to tray and stir to combine. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Place chicken on risotto.

  3. 3

    Finish the Dish

    Bake again uncovered in hot oven until risotto is heated through and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10-12 minutes.
