Chicken stew with carrots and snow peas

Chicken stew with carrots and snow peas

I'm a bit late this week, sorry for that. But here I am and here (in German language) I found an other take on my favorite chicken recipe (Chicken stew with snow peas and almonds) and I can't really decide, which one I prefer. 
I really like the combination of snow peas and chicken. Oh, who am I kidding, I just LOVE snow peas. Since I was a kid already. Although, my grandmother was growing the sugar snap peas, which are not flat as the snow peas, but more round and the skin of the pod is a bit thicker and crispier. Also the peas are big and unbelievably sweet. The point is, you can eat the peas and the pods and that's what I like about them. Every time we came for visit, I couldn't wait to get to the back of the garden and eat them directly from the plant.

I love the combination of the sweet taste of the pea and the fresh and crisp or crunchy taste of the pod, yummy.
Now, if you have a recipe, you really like, you can only eat it so many times, especially because it's now season for snow peas, which means they are affordable and tasty. I wanted to try out a new combination of those two ingredients and was really glad to find that recipe. I served it with rice, but didn't include it in the cooking process.
