In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add cubed chicken to the pot and cook for 10 minutes until lightly browned.
Once the chicken has cooked, add onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Sauté for 10 minutes.
Add dried spices, flour and chicken broth to the pan. Stir well. Cook for 5 minutes or until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken.
Once bubbling, slowly add in room temperature milk, stirring constantly as the mixture continues to thicken.
Stir in peas and corn.
Serve as is or over cooked rice.
