Kgirl, I hope you enjoyed that soup / stew.
We had hot chicken sandwiches on whole grain bread with sunflower seeds. I made some vegi stock today, because when I make chicken stock, I only use chicken bones, no vegis or herbs. I had cooked the chicken breast a couple of days ago. I made a very easy vegi dish. I took some frozen vegis - carrots, corn, and a few green beans (I forgot the peas that were supposed to be in that mix). I defrosted them in the microwave. Before supper, I added some yogourt and some green masala from a jar and nuked them until they were hot. Oh my, that vegi dish was delicious. The sandwiches were good too.
Yup, doing stuff ahead of time can be very helpful. Earlier in the afternoon I made the vegi stock and reduced it. I shredded the chicken. I defrosted the vegis, so they were in a 1 quart measuring cup. Then, I got a migraine. But, at that point, supper was easy. Just had to add the yogourt and masala to the vegis and nuke them. The gravy was easy - heat some frozen chicken stock and the vegi stock and add a bit of fish sauce, some herbs, some garlic powder, and a corn starch slurry. I sliced the bread and topped it with the already shredded chicken and stuck that in the micro wave for a minute to get it warm and poured the gravy over it. Everything was ready to do and all planned, no thinking required. Once again, I apologize for the quality of the photo. Had to use my tablet again. I'm still having issues with my phone.
