To make a chicken entree and a side dish in one pot, try this.
Poach 2 boneless chicken breasts in 1 cup of good quality canned chicken broth. Add a small piece of onion, a 2 inch length of celery and 1 small garlic clove to the liquid. Cook at low simmer for no more than 15 minutes - just until the breasts are cooked through. Remove the chicken and reserve for chicken salad or a small chicken casserole. Add a little thyme and 2 tablespoons dry sherry to the broth and simmer 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper if needed. Strain solids from broth and return to pot. Cook at low boil until reduce by half. Add 1 or more cups of cooked rice to the reduced broth, stir well and simmer until most of liquid is absorbed - about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve as side dish,
