  • 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced
  • 4 celery stalks sliced
  • 1.5 l chicken stock
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 180C and cook chicken breast for 25 to 30 minutes until no longer pink inside. Then remove and allow to cool.
  • Whilst the chicken is cooking in the oven, prepare all the vegetables.
