 In a big saucepan over a medium flame heat oil and add onion and garlic. Cook until tender and then add the uncooked rice. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until the rice changes color to brown.
In another saucepan, meanwhile, boil the broth and once at boiling point, lower the heat until it slowly simmers. Add ½ a cup of broth to the rice constantly stirring. Cook the rice until the broth is fully absorbed. Once done again add ½ cup broth to rice continuously stirring and cook until absorbed again. Repeat the procedure four times in total and cook the rice until the broth is fully absorbed. The process will take 18 to 20 minutes.
Once done, stir in the peas, carrots and the remaining broth. Stir and cook until the rice gets slightly firm and creamy.
Stir in chicken, parmesan cheese, spinach and thyme, and heat through. Serve hot.
