- 2 large carrots sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped

Instructions
- Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to a dutch oven and cook until browned. Remove the chicken to a plate.
- Add the celery, carrots, garlic, onion, rosemary, sage and thyme to the pot and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine and stir, scraping up the bottom of the pot. Cook until the wine is reduced by at least half, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, rice and 1⁄2 cup water and stir.
- Add the chicken and any juices from the plate; add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash together the butter and flour with a fork to make a paste.
