I privately celebrated my new job this evening be making poached chicken breasts in a sauce of tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms on a bed of white rice with a side of green beans accompanied by a glass of El Ceto Sauvignon Blanc.
Poaching has got to be my new favorite way to cook chicken. It doesn't take that long and the meat comes out so tender and juicy it's like slicing through butter. Although, between you and me, I think Julia was a hitting the bong a little too hard when she recommended an 8-minute cooking time. Those breasts needed at least a half an hour in the oven before I could consider them done.
As for the wine, the El Ceto was okay. It had a touch of sweetness that I don't really care for. I should have gone with the Jesper for a few dollars more. (Both available at Whole Foods)
