This simple recipe will give you a healthy meal you can eat all week long.  The ingredients can be tailored to your taste. You can bake a chicken or get a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to make your own stock (recipe on dawnsbodyshop.com) or buy a container of low sodium chicken stock from the grocery store. 
Heat oil on medium/low then add onion into olive oil with salt until the onion starts to become translucent. And garlic and cook about a minute more. There should be liquid in the pan from the onions but if not add a splash of water then add carrots and cook until they start to soften add celery and cook about two minutes more. Add ground black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste then mix in cooked chicken meat. Top with warm stock and simmer on low for about an hour. Skim off any film that may form on the top. Re-season to taste and enjoy!

Chicken Stock

You can make stock with any type of bones and vegetable mix you like to alter the flavor.  This is an easy recipe for making a flavorful chicken stock you can use to make your favorite soups or use to flavor things like brown rice or quinoa.  Stock can also be frozen in large batches or ice cube trays to use later.  It gives you something to do with the leftovers after making an oven roaster or grilled chicken.  You can also get a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to cut out having to cook your own chicken. 
Place all ingredients into a medium size crock pot cover with water and cook on medium for 6 - 12 hours.  Ingredients can also be simmered on low for 3-4 hours in a large pot. You will know the stock is done when the vegetables are soft and the liquid is a golden brown. Once cooked strain into a storage container and float a layer of plastic wrap over the top.  Regenerate to cool and the fat will attach to the plastic wrap.  Once cool remove the plastic wrap and use the stock as desired.
