Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and bell pepper; cook for 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes.
6. Return chicken to the skillet and add frozen peas. Stir to combine.
7. Transfer mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly on top.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is golden.
9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
• Serve with crusty bread or over rice.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
