Chop all veggies and have prepared. In large skillet over high heat place 2 tbs oil, onions and carrots. Stir and cook for about 6 minutes or until desired consistency (i like mine crunchy). Add seasonings. Add garlic. Add bok choy. Cook for additional 5 minutes. Add 1 tsp butter and a little soy sauce before taking it out of pan. Place more oil and add chicken.

I just made the best spaghetti ever with the ingredients I had on hand. I didn’t have enough ground beef so I added chopped up pot roast (along with 3/4 cup of the pot roast juices,celery,onion)to the sauce along with 1/4 pound of breakfast sausage. I put 3 tomatoes, 1 onion, 1/2 garlic bulb, 2 cans diced tomatoes, 3tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbs Italian seasoning,garlic & onion powder,black pepper,red pepoer flakes,1 tbs red wine vinegar, a tbs brown sugar. I simmered the onion,fresh tomatoes & garlic first in butter then added the other sauce ingredients. I blended it with an immersion blender. I cooked the meats separately then added them afterwards. I cooked this on low for 3 hours. Yummy to the Tummy!!!😘❤️
