Serves:
2 - 4 (depending on how hungry people are)

Freeze?  Microwave?:
You probably can't freeze this, I assume it would go mushy.  You could microwave it to reheat it.

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Thigh fillets (skin off)
1/4 cup (approx) spring onions (chopped)
2 Mushrooms
1 cup raw Arborio Rice
2 cups of warm water
2 Bacon stock cubes
2 cups (approx) milk
2 low fat cheese slices
1 cup (approx) steamed pumpkin and broccoli (mostly pumpkin)

Preparation time:
It takes me about an hour to cook I think...

Method:

1). Chop and fry the chicken until browned. 

2).  Add the Spring onions and mushrooms (thinly sliced) and fry until the chicken is browning/mushrooms are soft.

3).  Add the raw rice and stir until the rice is warmed.  Add the bacon stock cubes to the water, and pour half of this into the frying pan.  Bring to the boil.

4).  Add the remaining water-stock and simmer while stirring.  As the mixture starts to get drier (the rice absorbs the liquid) keep adding up to 2 cups milk.

5).  When about half the milk is added, add the vegetables and cheese.

6).  Keep stirring and adding more milk until the rice is cooked (soft).  Then serve.
