  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8.75 oz chicken breast, chopped
  • 1 None onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 mins, until browned and cooked through. Set aside. Add remaining oil and saute onion, garlic and thyme over medium heat for 3 mins. Add rice and cook for 1 min. Add wine and cook for 1 min, stirring, until absorbed. Add hot stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring between additions, until almost all liquid absorbs. Return chicken to pan and season. Add feta.
