CHICKEN STIR FRY

3 cups chicken broth
4-1/2 tbl flour

3/4 cup minced meat (cooked pieces of chicken or fish) - optional, but it would be better to use this
After the chicken broth has been made, allow it too cool for around 2 minutes.

Heat broth and flour mixture on high heat until a thick creamy mixture is formed. Immediately add all other ingredients and pour all contents of this meal into the cat's container.
Allow it to set into jelly like substance with the carrots and minced meat suspended in it. Serve to your cat.
