Gingery Chicken and Vegetables

This is another one of my favorites.  It is really easy and so good.  As you see here, I put this on kelp noodles.  However, we usually eat it with no noodles.

Atzin, my son, jokes and says "Mom this is not chicken with vegetables, this is VEGETABLES with chicken!"  We finally compromised on the amount of chicken versus vegetables and decided that it would be called Chicken AND Vegetables.  Not Chicken WITH Vegetables.

As you can see here, I had prepared all the ingredients in the morning so that all I had to do in the evening was sautee it.  We have had really busy weeks because Atzin has had baseball every day and I have had long days every day.  So cooking in the evening seemed really difficult.  This day, I prepared everything in the morning.  That way, it is quick and easy to prepare the meal when you are tired and hungry.

1 tsp ginger root
1-2 lbs grilled chicken breast
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
1/2 bell pepper

Directions
1.  Sautee the garlic and onion in the olive oil.

You see in this picture, that I added spinach this time as well.  You can certainly vary the veggies, but I really like the celery, carrots, bell pepper combination with the ginger.
