Chicken sauté with peas is a simple home-style skillet dish: bite-sized chicken is cooked with green peas, often alongside onion, tomato or pepper, and finished with a light pan sauce. The exact vegetables and seasoning vary from kitchen to kitchen.
The chicken stays tender and savoury, while the peas add a gentle sweetness and a little bite. In Turkey it is commonly served as a main meal with rice or bulgur, and may be accompanied by salad or yoghurt. For English-speaking readers elsewhere, it also works well over rice or with crusty bread. Chicken makes it protein-rich, while peas contribute fibre; use a measured amount of oil and add extra vegetables for a lighter plate.
