SOLO CHICKEN BREAST POACHED IN BEER
This solo meal provides meat, vegetable, and pasta in one dish. The sourness of the beer is matched with the sweetness of the onion, and the saltiness of the olives. The reason the chicken breast is left whole for most of the cooking, and then diced as a later step is because the meat will remain more moist and flavorful if seared rather than stir fried.
