Quick easy and tasty......

Dice chicken and vegetables. In a large saucepan brown chicken, onion and garlic in olive oil.
Add diced vegetables and stock cubes and a few cups of water. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer, cooking until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and cracked pepper if desired.

Variations to recipe: add pumpkin and a little curry powder
add chinese noodles
add a good swig of white wine (and a swig for the galley slave)
add a little grated cheese or parmesan or sour cream

*you could also substitute chicken with bacon or beef (beef needs to be cooked for min. 90mins before you add vegies)

We are presently at Curacao, Dutch Antilles.....the supermarket has bags of diced vegies...I just add the potatoes, garlic and onion....makes the recipe even easier.
