    Recipe Introduction


    "Moist, succulent chicken breasts, regal with saffron's golden hues and elegant flavor, come together with almost no effort. Serve them with rice, drizzled with some of the broth, and a crisp green salad or steamed vegetable"

    List of Ingredients




    4 chicken half-breasts on bone
    14 oz very, very low salt chicken broth or homemade chicken broth
    2 tablespoons dry sherry or white wine
    2 cloves garlic, minced or squeezed through a garlic press
    1 bay leaf
    1/8 teaspoon crushed/crumbled saffron threads

    Recipe



    Place chicken breasts snugly in a small pot. Cover with chicken broth (if necessary, add a little water to just cover the breasts). Add remaining ingredients. Cover. Bring to boil on medium heat. Turn down heat and simmer 2 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the broth before serving. Broth can be saved for soup or for cooking with rice, or reduced into a sauce.

    Chicken breasts can be served warm or cold. For an elegant entrée, serve the warm breasts drizzled with some of the reduced broth. If desired, garnish with finely chopped parsley or cilantro, finely diced sweet red peppers, or fresh cracked peppercorns.
