Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your Dutch oven or large skillet with a lid over medium heat.
  2. Add oil to the hot pan and saut&# 195;© the chopped onion until translucent and soft.
  3. Add the chicken breast chunks to the pan and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
  4. Add the sliced carrots and cubed potatoes to the pan, stirring to combine with the onions and chicken.
  5. Pour the can of 7-Up over the ingredients, ensuring everything is submerged or nearly submerged.
  6. Cover the pot and simmer on low-medium heat for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove the lid and check the liquid levels; if there is too much liquid, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce.
  8. Place chunks of Velveeta cheese directly on top of the stew.
  9. Cover the pot again and let it sit for 5 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.
  10. Stir gently to distribute the melted cheese into the sauce, creating a creamy texture.
  11. Sprinkle the precooked bacon bits evenly over the top.
  12. Serve hot in bowls, ensuring each portion gets plenty of sauce and toppings.
