directions
- Preheat a large pot over medium/high heat, add olive oil and chicken and brown chicken well on all sides.
- Remove chicken from pot with a slotted spoon and add all copped vegetables (except canned tomatoes). Sautee’ vegetables and garlic about 3-4 minutes until they begin to wilt.

- Bring to a boil, stir and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook on low for 20 minutes, stir once or twice during cooking to prevent sticking. Allow to rest with the lid on about 5 minutes before serving.
- Heap into bowls and serve with a nice salad on the side and enjoy your one pot dinner!
