How To make Creole Poached Chicken Breasts Ww

x

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 onions

chopped
1 green bell pepper :

seeded and chopped
1 celery stalk

chopped
1/2 carrot :

peeled and chopped
14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
16 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast halves
or one 4-ounce fillet per serving
Chicken breasts are stewed/poached in basic seasonings kicked up a notch with fresh thyme and cayenne pepper. Allow about 25 minutes to get the meal on the table.
1. Wash the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Saute the onions, bell pepper, celery and carrot until tender, 4-5 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 8-10 minutes.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a platter. Simmer the sauce, uncovered, until reduced by half, about 4-5 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.
