Creole Poached Chicken Breasts - WW

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.
