Leftover Chicken Stew

Cut up two or three leftover cooked chicken breasts.  (If you are using uncooked chicken, cut it into chunks, brown in hot olive oil, then continue with the recipe as written.)

Throw in:
3-6 cloves of garlic, mashed & or diced
Salt
1/4 ± tsp pepper
1/2 tsp lemon zest
Marjoram, Herbs d'Province, basil, savory, etc, etc.(Your favorites)

When chicken is heated through, add:
2-4 cups chicken broth-enough to cover your "stuff" (depends on the amount of other ingredients)

leftover potatoes
3 med carrots-sliced
6-8 new small red potatoes- quartered
Throw in anything in your fridge that is looks acceptable.(I have used a doz. grape tomatoes and some cabbage spinach & carrots salad.)
Cook for 1-2 hours, till all vegies are done. Top with dumplings. Cook 10 min.

(For those of the anit-meat persuasion- just make it all veg and add a can of garbanzo beans or black beans for protein!

Great for a cold night.
