This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I shredded some carrots and celery and added them to the pot with the chicken. The kids didn't even notice them, and they ate everything on their plates.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used a rotisserie chicken, and it worked perfectly. The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I served the chicken over rice, and it was a hit with my family.
