6

Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

7

Return the chicken to the pot, adding chicken broth, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

9

Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F.

10

Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Serve the chicken with the vegetable sauce spooned over the top.
