When it comes to easy chicken and vegetable recipes this is the one! This chicken with potatoes carrots and broccoli type dish could also be in “weird things I eat” category. It´s pretty basic and maybe not that weird but it is definitely not something you would serve to your guests I think. 😀
Anyways, this is simple chicken with potatoes or chicken with potatoes and vegetables dish. And is something I have been enjoying for the last few Sundays for some strange reason. And it´s a proper comfort food!
For this chicken with potatoes and carrots or chicken with potatoes and carrots recipe I used mostrly potatoes, some carrots and a bit of frozen broccoli. Some veggies are easier to have frozen, like broccoli for me. I rarely use one whole head and then I have to think about to use the rest so that it won´t go to waste. But with frozen I can just take as much as I need and think about the rest.
There is just something about chicken with potatoes carrots and broccoli. And when you add broth on top it´s a match made in Heaven! If there is any broth left I have it in a cop on a side. It just tastes so good!
You don´t have to use broccoli for this easy chicken with broccoli. Cauliflower and even asparagus cut into smaller pieces work well.
For the broth for this easy chicken with bone recipes, I used chicken with bones in, a stock cube and carrots. Sometimes I like to add some celery too.
