Creamy Rice and Mediterranean Chicken

So this recipe was inspired by the Chicken Mediterranean Pizza from Papa Murphy's. I just love it. I thought that I could create something with similar ingredients and this is what I came up with.
INGREDIENTS FOR 4 SERVINGS:
3 Tbs. Olive Oil
1 Onion, Finely Chopped
1 C. Arborio Rice
1 C. White Cooking Wine
Kosher Salt and Black Pepper
4 Chicken Breasts Cut into Strips
3 Cloves Garlic, Sliced
¼ tsp. Thyme
½ tsp. Basil
1 Pint Sun Dried Tomatoes
2 C. Fresh Baby Spinach
Feta Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat 1 Tbs. of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add the rice and wine and cook, stirring until the wine is absorbed. Add 2 cups water and ¼ tsp. each salt and pepper. Simmer, covered, over low heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile in a large pan, add 2 tsp olive oil, chicken, and garlic. Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Season with thyme and basil; Add the sun dried tomatoes with their oil. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted. Serve over the rice and top with Feta Cheese.
