Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  8. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Campground Cooking Note

If using instant rice, reduce the broth by about ½ cup and cook according to the rice package directions. If using a portable camp stove that runs hot, stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
