I am still not back to a lot of cooking but this was an easy meal to fix. I have been trying to use some stuff from my freezer and between my wife and Sandman’s carry out we have been eating pretty well!
I had some skinless, boneless chicken breasts thawed out. I followed a recipe I saw pretty close but changed some. It layered in some veggies, the breasts over top and pour chicken broth over just to cover the veggies. I figured the breasts may not dry out being steamed more or less.
I added a little olive oil spray to the pot, 4 carrots cut up, a half of a med. onion diced, 4 stocks of celery cut up, 7 or 8 small potatoes cut in half and a little salt and pepper. I placed the breasts on top and a pint of broth over. I didn’t have chicken broth so I used water, 2 rounded teaspoons of chicken bouillon granules, a good pinch of basil and thyme and mixed well. I did it on low for six hours.
It would have been good to make some gravy with the broth but I was too lazy. I like to mash up the carrots and mashed potatoes, dot it with some butter and spoon a little broth over.
It tasted pretty good along with some crusty bread and butter. The chicken was too dry. The next time I would use some bacon on top of the chicken or use skin on and bone in breasts.
