I had a frozen 1/2 chicken that I defrosted and had to use.

Here's what I made.
1/2 of a white onion
handful of fresh parsley (homegrown)
2 celery stalks fine chopped.
Sautied above in a little olive oil, pepper. salt. Italian seasoning (liberal shakes)
cooked down.
Added the chicken chunks a 12 0z o jarred chicken gravy, 1/2 jar of water (I wish I'd had a 2nd jar of gravy)._
Cooking undercover, med low. Meanwhile cooking some homegrown potato's for smashing and creamed spinnich as a sider dish.
Plan to finish the chicken with dried cranberries and pecan bits. Maybe a bit of sour cream at the end.
Will let you know if I like, or at least survived.
Edited to add pic-
= new reply since forum marked as read
I love celery & onion in chicken dishes!
Enjoy.
Sounds good to me!
I'm thinking a bed of smashed tater's for this chicken concoction.
