  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme (optional)
  • ⅔ cup chicken broth
  • 1 (16 oz) package frozen pierogies – roughly 12 pierogies — I always use Potato/Cheddar flavor!

  3. Brown chicken on both sides; remove to a plate.

  5. Cook and stir until vegetables are barely tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to pan. Add thyme and chicken broth.
  7. Simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender and chicken is fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, cook pierogies in boiling water for 5 minutes, drain.
  9. Stir in chicken gravy into the vegetable mixture.
  10. Stir in pierogies.
  11. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Serve with your favorite dinner rolls or bread. I love having crescent rolls or a good loaf of Dutch Crunch bread with butter.
