Chicken With Stew Vegetables

Yesterday I went to prepare a recipe I found called Vegetable Medley, and it just wasn't meant to be. First, I looked more closely at the recipe and realized it was going to turn out bland due to the total lack of seasonings. Then, I discovered my zucchini had gone bad. So instead I used what I had to whip up this delicious and quick meal instead.

Chicken with Stew Vegetables (4 servings at 4 points a piece)

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
3 medium carrots, diced
3 celery ribs, diced
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups of frozen cauliflower and broccoli mix
1 cup cooked white rice
rotisserie chicken seasoning, herb chicken seasoning, and poultry seasoning
1 tsp olive oil

Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Lightly dust chicken with a little bit of the rotisserie chicken seasoning, herb chicken seasoning, and poultry seasoning. Over medium heat, brown chicken on each side until no longer pink in the middle. Add the teaspoon of olive oil to the pan, and toss in the carrots, celery and onion. Let the vegetables cook with the chicken for about 2 or 3 minutes and then add the broccoli and cauliflower. Reduce the heat slightly and cover pan. Let cook for about 10 - 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Finally, add the rice and mix well.

The dish ended up being similar to the Chicken Veggie Pot that I made a while back, but the taste was somewhat different. It turned out pretty tasty for me just throwing it together like that, and the husband really liked it as well. It was very easy to make and very quick; and since most people have these items on hand, this is a great dish to make when you are in need of a quick and tasty dinner.
