  Pour the warm chicken stock into the pot and stir. Bring the mixture to a simmer but don’t let it come to a rolling boil. Add the milk, chicken and peas and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce had thickened and the peas are warmed through. Season well with salt and pepper then scrape the mixture into a 9” x 9”(or similar sized) baking pan.
