Ingrediënten
Marinate the chicken thighs beforehand and store them covered in the refrigerator.
Add the green peas only at the end and cook them briefly to preserve their fresh color and crunch.
This dish pairs wonderfully with warm, crusty bread (such as Moroccan bread) to dip into the sauce. You can also serve it with a simple salad for a refreshing touch.
Vegetarian option: Replace the chicken with chickpeas or tofu, and consider adding extra vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
