The chicken with peas and carrots stew is a quick, tasty, and very easy to prepare meat dish. I had some chicken breast to use up and, having quite a few peas in the freezer, I used them to prepare a flavorful dish that the whole family loved. The chicken with peas is prepared in just a few minutes and is perfect if you don’t know what to make for dinner, the meat bites are very tender and there’s a creamy and delicious sauce, perfect for sopping up with some bread, grab a nice baguette, it can’t be missing to dip into the broth!

Ingredients

Steps
The chicken with peas is very simple and quick to prepare, first cut the chicken breast into small pieces and coat it evenly with flour.
Pour a little extra virgin olive oil into the pan and sauté the meat; as soon as it’s golden, salt it and set aside. In the same pan, put the carrots and onions cut into small pieces, the minced garlic, add a little oil and sauté everything.
Add the peas (I used frozen ones, but fresh ones are fine too) and let them brown for a few seconds, add the chicken, give it a good stir, and deglaze with the white wine.
Pour in the vegetable broth (I used water and my homemade stock cube), cover with a lid, and let the chicken with peas and carrots stew cook for about 20 minutes, checking that it does not dry out too much; if necessary, add a little more broth/water.
Once cooking is finished, season the chicken with peas with a bit of black pepper and oregano and serve it.
Notes:
The chicken with peas can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days. If you don’t have vegetable (or meat) broth, salted water is also fine. Instead of white wine, you can also deglaze the meat with beer.
