- 6Add two or three carrots, chopped small, and three celery stalks, chopped small, to the multi-cooker.
- 7Stir and sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they soften up.

Tips
- If you don't have a multi-cooker with a sauté function, you can brown the chicken and vegetables in a hot oiled pan and then transfer them to a slow cooker.
- Start checking the chicken after about 45 minutes; it's done when it falls apart easily with a fork.
