Chicken Guisantes Recipe

Chicken Guisantes or Chicken and Green Peas Stew is my go to dish when I want to eat something simple yet satisfying for dinner. I like chicken guisantes because its taste is not overpowering and it is also easy to prepare.

I used chicken thigh for this recipe. I got these pre packaged from the supermarket. Aside from thighs, you can also use chicken breast, chicken drumsticks, or cut-up a whole chicken instead.The green peas that I used were frozen. If you are using the same, there is no need to thaw the peas before cooking. You can also use green peas in can (this is what I often use when I was in the Philippines), just make sure to drain the liquid before adding the peas. Roasted capsicum or bell pepper helps improve the overall taste of Chicken Guisantes. However, you can still use fresh bell pepper if you prefer.

Chicken Guisantes is best served with rice: be it white or brown. Oh, one more thing — I know that most of you are religiously following our recipes exactly as they are written. Sometimes it will be better if you deviate by trying to add other ingredients or by using substitute ingredients. For example, you can add potatoes and carrots when making this dish, or perhaps use other types of meat. You will learn a lot from this experience.
