    Bacon Shallot Peas are the perfect veggie side dish to add to chicken dinners. Try my Gramma's homestyle chicken recipe Sunday Dinner Chicken.

    I love fresh picked garden peas with this recipe, but frozen peas work just fine. The hint of lemon combined with creamy butter blend nicely with the bacon and shallots. If you prefer a bit more zip add a bit more lemon. One important tip about cooking peas is DON'T over cook them or they become hard and very bland tasting.
