Peas with chicken

To create a delicious and comforting meal, one starts by preparing the necessary ingredients. A large onion is taken, which will be cut into thin strips, known as julienne. This will add a sweet and aromatic flavor to our dish. In a large pan, a little olive oil or vegetable oil is added, and then the sliced onion is added. It is sautéed over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes transparent and slightly golden.

Meanwhile, the chicken meat is prepared. It is ideal to use chicken breast or boneless thighs, cut into large cubes of about 3-4 centimeters. When the onion is ready, the chicken is added to the pan, mixing well to brown it evenly on all sides. This step is essential, as browning the meat develops a rich flavor that will influence the entire dish.

After the meat is well browned, the root vegetables are added. These can include carrots, celery, and parsley, all cut into similar-sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Once the root vegetables are added, enough water is poured over them to cover, and a glass of tomato juice is added, which will provide a fresh taste and a hint of acidity to the dish.

Everything is left to simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, so that the flavors blend perfectly. After this interval, the peas, which can be fresh or frozen, are added, and water is topped up until the ingredients are well covered. The boiling continues for another 15-20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Finally, it is seasoned to taste, adding salt and freshly ground pepper to enhance the flavors. The dish is finished with a generous sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley, which adds a touch of freshness and color. This recipe can be served alongside a slice of fresh bread or a portion of rice, turning into a warm and comforting meal, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy every bite!
