Remove pan from heat then fluff rice, sprinkle green onions on top, and then place the lid back on the pan for ⏱️ 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat extra virgin olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and green chilies, season with salt and pepper, and then saute until chicken is just cooked through. Add garlic then saute for 1 more minute. Remove chicken and chili mixture to a plate then very carefully wipe out the inside of the skillet with a couple of paper towels. Let the skillet cool off the heat while you whisk the flour into a dish with 1/2 cup milk.
