JOY
* Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger. The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.
I have reached my goal!
Chicken & Carrot Stew
Prep: 20 minutes/ Cook: 20 minutesThis stew is so tasty and nutrient rich! I enjoy taking leftovers for lunch. Be sure to measure an appropriate portion for your pouch because it is very easy to get ahead of the pouch with a stew.
Carrots are the leading source of beta-carotene in the American diet. They also contain flavonoids that are the phytochemicals that function as antioxidants. That is a very good reason to include them in the diet as flu and cold season approaches.
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 pound total) cut crosswise into quarters
2 tablespoons flour
1 large onion cut into 1-inch chunks
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound peeled “baby" carrots
2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess. Sauté for 2 minutes per side or until lightly browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a plate.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté for 7 minutes or until the onion is tender. Add the carrots, tossing to coat. Add the broth, 2/3 cup of water, the marjoram, ginger and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 7 minutes or until the carrots are crisp-tender.
Add the chicken, cover and cook for 4 minutes or until he chicken and carrots are tender. Serves 4 (normal).
