Pot Au Fe

Pot Au Fe: (my chicken stew)
This dish is traditionally made with beef but I make it with Chicken. A great one pot meal!
I invented my version of this before I knew what Pot Au Fe was.

Ingredients:
Olive Oil
Chicken breasts four
1 onion chopped finely
2 garlic cloves chopped finely (or just use garlic powder, not salt)
Water or Chicken stock
1 14 oz. can of italian tomatoes (sometimes I add this and sometimes not)
1 cup chopped carrots
4 potatoes cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup chopped zucchini
1 cup broccoli cut into bite sized florets
Fresh parsley and salt to your taste…sometimes I add ginger (love ginger) or basil

Sautee the Garlic and onion just until soft. Add the chicken and lightly brown it on both sides. Add canned tomatoes. Add some
Water or chicken broth enough to cover chicken. Let this simmer for ½ hour. Add carrots, potato, celery, zucchini and gently simmer until they are almost soft but not mushy. Add broccoli and stick the stalk part into the liquid in pot and cook/steam gently until just soft (or not…just crunchy enough). Stir in parsley…serve piping hot. Serve with a salad if you wish.
Serves four.
