chicken scramble

Do you only like one type of chicken?  Great news if you only like one kind, but love the flavors of a roast chicken, through some fun experimenting, I came up with a really yummy and adjustable recipe for that roast chicken taste, in WAYYYYYY less time and just including the part of the chicken you like!!  This is good for one person and lef overs the next day or for groups of people....

I call it CHICKEN SCRAMBLE:

Ingredients:
- Carrots (your choice how many you like - I like them a lot so I use more) pealed and chopped
- Celery (your choice how many you like - I don't use as many as the carrots) chopped
- 1/2 onion - chopped
- fresh herbs are best, but dry will do including: rosemary, thyme, chives, parsley --> remember to use more herbs if they are not fresh
- salt and pepper to taste
- garlic or garlic powder
- chicken stock
- a little EVOO and/or butter
- chicken (I used diced uncooked white meat)
- brown rice (I used the frozen packages from trader joes - precooked and makes it really easy!)

Directions:
-in a large pan stir fry the carrots, celery, onions in some butter/ EVOO with the herbs ans salt/ pepper/ garlic.
- after the start to crown a little slowly add chicken stock and cook down, do this 3 - 5 times until the veggies are soft
- in another pan stir fry the chicken in some EVOO/ butter with a little salt and pepper until the chicken starts to brown --> doesn't matter if fully cooked because you will be adding this into the veggie combination with more chicken stock to continue to cook
- add the chicken into the larger pan with some more chicken stock and then after a minute or two add the rice (already defrosted)
- cook together another 5 min or so or until the chicken is fully cooked through.

From prep to plate this should only take you about 30-40 min and for a yummy roast chicken tasting dish that's not bad - ENJOY!!! :)
