Smothered Chicken with Glazed Carrots

This dish came from a last minute ditch attempt to complete my shopping list and use the ground chicken that I bought for something else that I didn't make. Creativity is my forte and necessity is the mother of  my creativity. Thus, we welcome this new addition to my recipe list.
I was quite pleased with the results. Reminding me of when my husband makes hamburger steak with onions and gravy. Truly, a great alternative to that said dish for those who do not eat beef. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do. Enjoy!
