There was a little Italian restaurant, Maria’s, in my hometown that was open back in the 90s. It was a Mom and Pop place that specialized in simple dishes. Each day there was a handful of recipes prepared in the morning, that were kept warm behind a deli counter.

Occasionally my parents would take my sister and me there for lunch. I would walk up to the counter and peer through the glass. There was homemade pasta, peppers and sausage, marinara sauce, meatballs, and one other dish- breaded Italian chicken with peas in a white wine reduction.

I absolutely fell in love with the dish! Every time I walked up to the counter the chicken and peas won me over. My only chagrin is that I didn’t have more than a bite of their homemade pasta off my dad’s plate.

It’s been at least 20 years since they closed, but I have never forgotten the food. Right before I moved back to the States from Baja one of “my girls” Miriam, asked for the recipe above all the others we had cooked together over the years.

Summer gardens and farmer’s markets are brimming with peas making this the perfect summer dish. If you don’t have peas, sliced green peppers taste delicious as well.

I chose to serve this over pasta to make it a more frugal option. You can serve it over pasta or on its own with easy homemade rosemary focaccia bread and salad.

Recipe Note: If you don’t care to use wine it can be left out, the flavor profile will change but the dish will still be good.
