DAD'S CREAMED PEAS & PEARL ONIONS
While I was growing up, it was our family tradition to make creamed peas with pearl onions for every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. My dad was not a happy camper if he didn't see this dish on the table. It was his favorite! I made it for my own family while our kids were growing up, and now my daughter makes this dish for her family. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

BAKED CHICKEN WITH ONIONS AND PEAS
I like the flavor of the soy, Worcestershire and garlic gives the chicken. And I love the way the peas caramelize in the oven. Over white rice this is delicious! You can use less peas but I always make extra since they always seem to disappear.

Steps:
- In large bowl soak chicken in water, and vinegar for about 10 minutes. Rinse well, trim excess skin and pat dry. This step is optional it's just how I clean chicken.
- Place chicken in a large zip lock bag or large bowl. To chicken add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons salt (or to taste) and 1 teaspoons black pepper, garlic, oregano, lime juice, soy and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well, let marinade for at least an hour (overnight is best).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
- Place chicken skin side down in casserole dish large enough to leave some space between the chicken pieces. I bought one large aluminum tray. Pour remaining marinade over chicken. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place peas and onions in a large bowl. Season with 1 tablespoon of salt (or to taste) and 1 teaspoons pepper, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Toss to coat.
- After 20 minutes, remove chicken from oven and add the peas and onions. Turn chicken so that the skin side is up, and make sure the chicken is sitting on top of the peas so that the skin can brown. Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees and Cook for about 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. I served this with my white rice recipe http://www.food.com/recipe/white-rice-503045.
- Hope you enjoy!

Tips:
- To make a flavorful velouté sauce, use a good quality chicken stock. You can make your own chicken stock at home or use a store-bought brand that you trust.
- For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of butter to the sauce at the end of cooking.
- If you don't have pearl onions, you can use small white onions instead. Just peel and slice them thinly.
- Fresh peas are best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen peas. If using frozen peas, thaw them before adding them to the sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of nutmeg or paprika for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Chicken velouté is a classic French sauce that is easy to make and incredibly versatile. It can be used as a base for soups, stews, and casseroles, or it can be served over chicken, fish, or vegetables. The pearl onions and peas add a delicate sweetness and texture to the sauce, making it a perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes.
