I put this in with a little water and maybe some dry onion soup mix. I keep dried onion in the cupboard all the time. It comes in handy. Then I plop in potatoes and carrots and cook it to death. The drippings are great for gravy and the house smells wonderful to anyone coming home after a long day.
Leftovers are great, too.
I really like to make soup. Really good on cold days. For chicken I usually just cover the pieces with canned tomatoes that are spiced with peppers or onions or herbs. You can find them in the store. Then make rice and you have chicken cacciatore without the fuss.
