Greek chicken with peas is an easy and quick dish to make.

Peas are high in nutrients and antioxidants, if you are like me, you will always find a bag of frozen peas in my freezer!! So if you are looking for a delicious, quick and healthy mid week dinner, look no more!

Frozen peas are great for this Greek chicken with peas recipe. Just take them out of the freezer and straight into the saucepan. Bear in mind that cooking any vegetable from frozen will take a bit more time as it needs to defrost. In addition, bear in mind that you will require less water when cooking frozen vegetables.
