Preparation

In large heavy pot, melt butter. Sauté onion, garlic and rosemary over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring 2 minutes. Mix in stock and mushrooms. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a gentle boil. When stock is absorbed, start adding milk, half a cup at a time, stirring each batch until absorbed. Add peas and chicken, then cheese. Add more hot liquid if needed. Season and serve.
