  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 3 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the onion, celery, carrots, chicken, bouillon, salt, pepper and water in a Dutch oven. Bring the mixture slowly to a boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender.
