1. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add ham and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 1 minute. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

2. Stir in peas, broth, and sugar. Cover and cook until peas are bright green and just heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chives and butter and toss until incorporated. Remove pan from heat; stir in lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.
