Get ready to indulge in a simple and tasty recipe that brings together a healthy side of peas and crispy chicken fingers. This dish is not only quick to prepare but will also impress with its blend of flavors. Let's get started!

Ingredients:

*For the chicken fingers:*
- 2 chicken breasts (approximately 500g)
- 3 eggs
- 1 pack of breadcrumbs (approximately 200g)
- Salt, to taste
- Oil for frying (between 200ml and 300ml, depending on the cooking method)

*For the peas with onions:*
- 1 kg frozen peas
- 2 medium onions
- 3 tablespoons of broth
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 bunch of fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons of oil
- Salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preparing the peas:
- Start by heating 3 tablespoons of oil in a pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté the onion for 5-6 minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly golden.
- Add the frozen peas (previously drained under a cold water jet) over the onion. Mix well so that the peas combine with the onion.
- Once the peas are heated through, add water (approximately 300ml) and let it simmer on low heat. When the peas become tender, bring them to the desired consistency.
- In a separate bowl, mix the broth with 1 tablespoon of flour and a splash of water to create a smooth paste. Pour this mixture over the cooked peas, stirring quickly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for a few minutes, then add the sugar and adjust the salt.
- Finally, turn off the heat and add the chopped dill, mixing well. This combination will give a fresh and aromatic taste to the dish.

2. Preparing the chicken fingers:
- Cut the chicken breast into very thin strips. These will be crispier and cook evenly.
- Season the chicken strips on both sides. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a little salt.
- Dipping the chicken strips into the beaten eggs will help the breadcrumbs stick. After dipping them in the egg, coat the strips in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly covered.
- In a deep pan, heat the oil well, then add the chicken fingers. Fry them over medium heat, being careful not to burn them, until they are golden and crispy on all sides (about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the strips).

3. Serving:
- Place a generous portion of peas with onions on plates and add the crispy chicken fingers alongside.
- A personal suggestion: serve the dish with lemon slices and garlic yogurt sauce, which will add a refreshing note and perfectly complement the flavors.

Useful Tips:
- If you want to save time, you can use fresh peas, but make sure they are well-cooked.
- Instead of broth, you can use tomato sauce or tomato paste for a more intense flavor.
- Experiment with different fresh herbs like parsley or basil to give the recipe a twist.
