Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken pieces and cook, stirring often, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in rice, cream soup, and 1.5 cups water. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low.
Step 3
Cook covered for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Serve hot straight from the skillet.
