Healthy and tasty one pot meal…
I’d been wanting to share this recipe for so long, this is one of my favorite one pot meals that can be made in less than 30 minutes. I cooked the carrots and made a sauce out of it. Combined the chicken and paste in the carrot sauce. It’s healthy, delicious and it’s filling.
