Ham and Rice

Very simple dish you make in a skillet.
NEED:
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, about 10 ounces
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped cooked ham ( I like there to be more ham..but it s up to your likes)
1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
3 to 4 cups chicken broth
2 to 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

In a heavy skillet, saute the chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of butter until onion is tender. Add ham and rice; cook over low heat until rice just begins to turn golden brown; add 3 cups chicken broth.
Cover and cook, stirring frequently, over low heat for 20 minutes. Add frozen peas and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until rice is tender, adding more chicken broth if necessary. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and the Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
