"Busy Mom" Quick and easy Pea, Carrot & Chicken Stew (vegan friendly)
Super easy, hearty and nutritious - I loved this dish as a kid. My mum was an intensive care doctor so always short on time, and this was the dish she would make in the morning for our lunch. Great for left overs too. You can "sneak" in other vegetables in too, like small pieces of cauliflower.
For vegan version, just omit meat.

Finely chop onions or blend them in food processor. I didn't like onions as a kid, so this was a good way to "hide" them in the dish. Fry them in a bit of oil until translucent, or just cook them with a bit of water for a healthier version. Use medium heat. In the photos I have just cooked them in a bit of water until they grow translucent.

Cut chicken / turkey breast in chunks - this makes them cook faster and it's easier to serve. Add chicken to the onions; add salt and pepper and garlic and stir so that chicken gets white on the outiside but doesn't cook through, otherwise it will be too rubbery during cooking,

Add carrots. I slice them relatively thinly as they cook slower than peas, and start with them. Add 1-2 cups of water until carrots and chicken are covered. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to soften the carrots, longer if you have thick slices. They should be after but not fully cooked before you add peas.

Add chicken and/or vegetable cube (I use no sodium organic like Khalo), salt a bit of pepper and garlic powder if you are using it. You can also add dried mixed herbs here.

Once carrots are sufficiently soft, add frozen peas and mix well.. Add a bit more water if needed, keeping in mind that frozen peas will let out water as well. Here I have nod added any.. (You can also use chicken or or veggie stock instead of water.)

Simmer, stirring occasionally, until peas and carrots are soft. It doesn’t take long. Water will evaporate and the starch from peas will thicken the stew. If you've put too much, water in it will take longer to do this and the peas may overcook,so best is to start less water and to add as you go along. You can also leave the lid off if you want the water to evaporate faster.

It keeps well in the fridge for a few days and can be easily reheated by kids :) enjoy!
