1
Heat the oven to 375°F. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
2
Stir the rice, onion, garlic, chicken stock, peas, olive oil, and salt together in a 9x13 baking dish.
3
Cut the chicken into 1-inch chunks, season with paprika, and nestle into the rice mixture. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
4
Bake at 375°F until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 40 minutes.

Uncover, scatter the cheddar on top, and bake until melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes.

Rest 5 minutes, then fluff around the edges and serve.
