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.

It's time for chicken again
I was just waiting for the ridiculous price for snow peas to drop, so I can do that delicious dish, that I just love, not only because it's so easy and quickly done. The combination of flavours and textures is so beautiful.
To be honest, I was sure, I wrote already about that dish and was surprised not to find it here. On the other hand, I also wasn't cooking it for quite a while, because of the already mentioned crazy price for snow peas.
I'm trying to grow snow peas in our garden for years already, but that's what you can call an epic fail. This year the plants grew indeed and were even carrying some fruits, but despite our new sprinkler system, the plants dried out eventually after having only one set of fruits. I won't give up thou and gladly take any advise that could help to finally cultivate them in our garden.
But we're not talking about my garden... The idea for the following dish came from here (in German language), but I've made the recipe only once with pork and substituted with chicken instead. You will see, that I changed some other things too, but all in all left the recipe as is.
And here comes one of our all time favourites:
