The soggy the peas are mushed and chicken tastes like wood?

Here are some possible reasons why your peas might be soggy and your chicken taste like wood:

* Overcooked peas: Peas can become mushy if overcooked. Aim for bright green peas that are tender but still hold their shape.

* Overcooked chicken: Chicken can become dry and tough if overcooked. Check the internal temperature to ensure it's cooked through but not dried out.

* Old chicken: If the chicken wasn't fresh, it might have a slightly off flavor, even after being cooked.

* Wrong cooking method: The way you cooked the chicken might have contributed to the woody flavor. Some methods, like grilling, can create a slightly smoky flavor that some people find unpleasant.

Next time you cook, try these tips:

* Cook peas briefly: Don't overcook them.

* Cook chicken to the right temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe and delicious results.

* Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken and peas will make a big difference in taste.

* Experiment with different cooking methods: If you're not happy with the taste, try a different cooking method.
