4 c Chicken stock

INSTRUCTIONS

Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy-bottomed
saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons oil and quickly brown chicken over high heat.
Remove and set aside. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and
saute until very lightly browned. Return chicken to pan and add wine,
tomatoes, thyme, sage, and the stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and
simmer until chicken is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove chicken and cut
meat into bite-sized slices and set aside. Strain braising liquid reserving
vegetables and return liquid to pot. Bring to a boil and cook over high
heat for 8 to 10 minutes to reduce and thicken lightly. This also
concentrates the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and
drops of balsamic vinegar if using. Add reserved meat and vegetables and
heat through. Stir in parsley and keep warm. Meanwhile, bring a large pot
of water to a boil, add salt to taste and pasta. Cook pasta until just
tender, drain and toss with chopped basil and sundried tomatoes. Place
pasta in center of warm, large flat pasta bowls and ladle braised chicken
sauce around. Garnish with basil springs and shaved cheese and serve
immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings.

A Message from our Provider:

“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
