Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook diced chicken until golden brown for about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add chopped onions and carrots; sauté until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic for the last minute.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring for one minute. Gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream while stirring continuously until thickened (around three minutes).
