Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I often find that the key to creating a well-rounded dish is to prepare your base. In a skillet, I heat up the olive oil and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they’re fragrant and slightly translucent. This takes about 4-5 minutes, and if you could smell it in my kitchen, you’d be ready to dig in! Next, I toss in my shredded chicken, mixed vegetables, thyme, rosemary, and chicken broth, allowing everything to simmer together for about 10 minutes. It’s a beautiful medley of colors and aromas filling my kitchen! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
