1.     In preparation preheat an oven to 160 C (320 F). Add crushed garlic clove, half the thinly sliced onion and sliced chicken to an ovenproof frying pan with heated oil using medium to high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring as you go.

2.     Add chopped thyme and arborio rice to the frying pan and cook for a minute, keep stirring.

3.     Add chicken stock and bring to the boil. Cover pan with lid and then oven bake for 15 minutes.

4.     At the same time make a salad by mixing together the other half of onion with baby rocket, thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.

5.     Take the pan out of the oven. Now add peas and stir in peas. Cover the pan and bake for 5 to 7 minutes so that rice is tender.
