Poached Chicken & Rice

Servings 4
Author Emily @ Zen & Spice

Ingredients

  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 lb carrots round cut
  • 4 celery stalks diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 2.5 lb chicken breast
  • 1.5 cup white wine chardonnay
  • 1.5 cup chicken broth
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 sprigs parsley
  • White rice for serving (1 cup per person)

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add veggies. Cook for 10 minutes until soft.
  2. Salt chicken. Add chicken to veggies, and arrange the veggies over the chicken.
  3. Add wine and chicken broth to barely cover chicken. Add thyme and parsley.
  4. Cover and cook on low (barely simmering) for 15-20 minutes, until chicken has reached 165 degrees internally.
  5. Meanwhile cook white rice (I used my Instapot so the rice would be done in 10 minutes).
  6. When the chicken is done, slice the breasts into pieces and top the white rice in a bowl. Spoon veggies around the chicken. Bon appetite!
