Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce) boned, skinned chicken breast halves

  • ½ teaspoon olive oil

  • 3 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 12 red thin-skinned potatoes (1 in. wide)

  • 8 baby carrots (4 in. long)

  • 4 baby bok choy (4 to 5 oz. each)

  • cup nonfat sour cream

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallots

  • 2 tablespoons drained capers

  • teaspoon Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Pour oil into a 5- to 6-quart nonstick pan over high heat. Add chicken and turn as needed to brown lightly on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a bowl. To pan, add broth, wine, and thyme; cover and bring to a boil.

  2. Meanwhile, scrub or peel potatoes. When broth is boiling, add potatoes. Cover, return to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. As potatoes cook, peel carrots. Cut bok choy in half lengthwise; rinse well.

  4. Add carrots to pan and arrange chicken in a single layer on vegetables. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Lay bok choy on chicken; cover and simmer until chicken is white in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 5 minutes longer.

  5. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mustard, shallots, and capers.

  6. With a slotted spoon, transfer equal portions of chicken and vegetables to wide soup bowls. Ladle hot broth equally into bowls and add sour cream sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
