Cover and let cook 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, turn over chicken and let cook for another 20 minutes.
Your Chicken is done.
Turn off Heat. Use care to
extract your chicken from pot.
We will remove bones later on.

After the 20 minutes are up, turn off
heat, remove carrots - set aside.

With chicken fairly cooked, the bones will come right off!

chicken, just chop up chicken and go to next part!
