We made it from the same recipe as last time (see that post for recipe). The biggest addition we made was that we added broccoli. We also tripled the celery and doubled the carrots. Broccoli in a tomato sauce is so good.

We may have let it simmer for a bit too long because it was all very mushy but it wasn't bad. Just more cooked

We also used chicken thighs for the first time. I trimmed off as much fat as possible first (and it was a gross amount). The chicken was a lot more tender but I am not sure if I liked the flavor more or not. It definitely tasted like cheaper chicken. Also, Thighs do not look as nice but when we cut it into little pieces, it is fine. I liked the price more though! I think the answer is that when we are cutting the chicken into pieces to mix into something, then thighs may be the better option. When the main thing is chicken, then breasts are better.
