Leftover Chicken Version I

I am a purist. I eat my chicken soup without the chicken. While the meat is tender and delicious, and I like it all by itself, for me it is a distraction to the soup. So I am often faced with a container of "leftover" boiled chicken.


Boiled chicken was something that made me run from the room when I was a child. Scary. Silly me. I really didn't understand what I was missing. And I am sure my parents were quite happy not having to share.


But today is a different day. We have BT's Everyday Tomato Sauce in the freezer. And we have a few yellow zucchini - and some okra. Time to make that chicken into something yummy.
