Fricassee of Chicken

== Description ==
From The Evening Sun, August 29, 1990
* Makes four servings of 170 calories each. 
== Ingredients ==
* 1 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
* 3 plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
* ¼ cup minced leeks
* 2 tbsp chicken stock
* 3 bay leaves
* 1 tsp olive oil
* 2 tbsp minced fresh basil
* 1 tbsp light cream or milk
== Directions ==
# Place the chicken in a 9-inch glass pie dish and cover with vented plastic wrap.
# Microcook on high until the chicken is cooked through, about 4½ to 5 minutes, stopping to stir midway.
# Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and drain off any liquid.
# Combine the tomatoes, garlic, leeks, stock, bay leaves, and oil in the same dish.
# Cover with vented plastic wrap and microcook on high for 2 to 2½ minutes, stirring once midway.
# Immediately stir in the basil and cream or milk and let stand for about 4 minutes.
# Remove the bay leaves and serve hot in shallow bowls.
# Note: at this time the sauce (everything but the chicken and bay leaves) can be whirled for a few seconds in a blender before being poured over the chicken. This isn't necessary, but it does make a more attractive, blended sauce.
