Hi Chick
I do a lot of chicken and veg here.
I cheat by using premade stock, boil up chicken breast (tease it apart later with a fork), a carrot, zucchini, celery, barley, peeled and cubed potato and pasta stars, mixed herbs and a bay leaf. Always turns out yummy and the pasta really thickens it up.
You could look up a recipe for pea and ham?
