Ingredients

I love a dinner recipe that can be made with stuff I already have in the house. Chicken thighs are a staple in my freezer because they are affordable and versatile. Add in some frozen peas, aromatics like onion and garlic and a dollop of sour cream and you have a delicious, easy meal in minutes.

Chicken thighs. I used bone-in thighs but boneless will also work. Onion. Shallot can be substituted. Garlic.  Frozen peas.  Chicken stock.  Sour cream.  Lemon zest & juice.  Chilli flakes.  Thyme.  Salt and pepper.

How to make chicken with lemony creamed peas

Can I use fresh peas for this recipe?

Yes, you can. Use fresh shelled peas and cook for 8-10 minutes. Fresh peas can be much starchier than frozen peas (frozen peas are blanched before freezing) and require longer cooking.
