- Add in the diced carrots and celery next and mix until well incorporated. Sauté for 3-4 minutes more or until veggies are tender. Mix in the minced garlic.
- Make a well in the center and add in the ground chicken. Break it up into small pieces and mix well with the veggies. Keep stirring occasionally until chicken is no longer pink.
