Wash and pat chicken dry completely for a nice sear
Sear chicken in a braiser with olive oil on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through
Add water, cover and cook on medium heat with lid on for 8-10 minutes or until water has reduced by half
Remove chicken and let cool
Scrape up the bits with a wooden spoon and pour into a measuring cup, keeping about ½ cup chicken juices
Add the veggies and salt to the same braiser, simmer on medium until veggies release their juices
Add ½ cup chicken juice, cover and cook for 8 minutes on LOW
Pull meat from the bone, if slightly pink add to a skillet on medium high heat for a few minutes
Chop the meat into bite sized pieces and add back into the braiser with veggies
Mix to combine, cover and simmer an additional 5 minutes
Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes
Use an immersion blender to puree the vegetables and meat until all chunks are blended
Spread on a large cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours or overnight
Use a large knife to cut the frozen mixture into even cubes of your preferred size
