Directions
Chicken breasts are stewed/poached in basic seasonings kicked up a notch with fresh thyme and cayenne pepper.
Wash the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Sauté the onions, bell pepper, celery and carrot until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, chicken broth, parsley, thyme, salt and cayenne; add the chicken and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and poach, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a platter.
Simmer the sauce, uncovered, until reduced by half, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
