This is one of those recipes that seems extremely fancy but it comes together with just a few minutes of work. It’s basically chicken and vegetables stewed in a white wine sauce, you can use bone in chicken which is traditional but if you’re in a hurry you can use chopped thigh meat and it’ll cut the cooking time down a little.

Add vegetables and garlic and cook while stirring for about 5 minutes.
Add the thyme, white wine, broth to the pot along with the chicken then bring to a boil and immediately reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pot and cut into pieces, then reduce the sauce by increasing the heat to a boil and cooking 5-7 minutes (you can also thicken it with small amount of flour or cornstarch if needed). Add the green peas and heat through and then serve the sauce vegetable mixture on top of the chicken.
