Before adding the rest
See the lovely green color of those peas?? 
I used frozen ones this time! Will not make the mistake of using canned peas (as here) again!
Today was a national holiday so we kind of spend the day cooking. Let me be more specific; I have been cooking (and baking) and Tom was busy (spring)cleaning the shed. After all that baking (to keep the suspense, check my blog on the 27th of May) I wanted to eat something quick and easy, so while going through some Good Food magazines I found the below recipe. And it was totally delicious!! I will definitely be making this again soon. It took about 10 minutes to make, 5 under the grill and voila. Ready!
The photos are quick snaps; didn’t feel like anything elaborate…
And finished
CHICKEN, HAM & ASPARAGUS PIE (serves 4)
Brush 4 skinless chicken breasts with a little butter and grill, turning once, untill just cooked. Slice into chinks and tip into a shallow dish. Blanch 100 gr asparagus and 100 gr peas untill just tender, then drain and scatter over the chicken with 100 gr ham, torn into pieces. Mix 100 ml creme fraiche with 1 tablespoon grainy mustard and dollop over the top, then scatter with 50 g breadcrumbs.
Dot with a little more butter and grill for 5 minutes untill golden and heated through. I also added a bit of freshly grated parmezan to the top.

Why what was wrong with the peas? I always use frozen peas. The first picture looks wonderful! I love the way that it fades out. I bet I can guess what you baked!
those peas are so small.
Oh, they are small. I don’t think I have ever seen fresh peas and I really don’t know why??
No nothing wrong with the peas! I used canned peas in a previous recipe, so that is what I meant. I guess that was not very clear..
Yes, they are small but I picked small ones as I find them tastier then the larger ones.
MMMMMM….That dish looks superb, Simone! MMMMM….delicious!
Asparagus and ham are a match made in heaven! I agree about canned peas: they kinda have a wrong colour!
Oh, yum! What a great combination of spring flavors — and so simple and fast for a holiday!
Definitely go for the fresh or frozen peas
The vegetables look great, and the creme fraiche mustard breadcrumb topping is fantastic. Must have been delicious!
Asparagus & ham such a match made in heaven. A gorgeous holiday dish for sure.
