Comfort Chicken

Is it seriously my turn to post again?!? Now that the cat's out of the bag that I'm pregnant, I can honestly say that I really haven't cooked more than a handful of times in months. Very sad and pathetic. I love to cook and experiment with my own recipes and all that stuff, but with the extreme nausea and food aversion, it just hasn't happened. So I just flipped through my recipes and found one that we like (definitely not a low fat meal so it's not eaten too frequently in our house!)

1 lb. chicken, baked & cut
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 c. butter
4 med. potatoes, bite-size pieces
20 baby carrots, bite-size pieces
1 c. cream
1 tbsp.parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

In a large skillet, saute onion in butter (I actually reduce the amount of butter in this recipe). Add chicken and brown on all sides. Add potatoes & carrots (partially steamed in microwave first). Cover and cook on medium-low until veggies are tender. Stir in remaining ingredients and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer uncovered for 8 minutes. Enjoy!

I adjust my seasonings to make sure it doesn't turn out bland. Simple seasonings, but with the right adjustment it's perfect!
