Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 5 tablespoons salted butter divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic about 6 cloves
- 4 carrots cut into bite-sized chunks
- 4 celery ribs sliced
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cooking wine (optional)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Dice 1 medium white onion. Mince 2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 6 cloves). Peel and cut 4 carrots into bite-sized chunks. Trim and slice 4 celery ribs.
- Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the same pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the prepared onion, garlic, carrot and celery. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned.
- Sprinkle ½ cup all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, to remove the raw flour taste.
- Pour in ½ cup cooking wine (if using), stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Gradually add 6 cups chicken broth and 2 cups heavy cream, stirring continuously. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Stir in 4 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon ground sage, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and ½ teaspoon dried thyme.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat. Cover and let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the bay leaves and discard them. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley.
