Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is a very tasty chicken dish! Throw in some canned, drained or fresh sauteed mushrooms. Be certain to use only low-sodium chicken broth for this. Make sure you have a large enough skillet to hold the chicken and carrots, I make this on my large electric skillet. You will love this!"

This is great. I used chicken thighs instead, so they cooked quick. Can be put on top of rice.
