POACHED CHICKEN BREAST
Steps:
- The idea of poaching is a good one for cooking succulent, moist, flavorful, and low-fat chicken. The directions did not allow enough cooking time. Here's how I did it, and the chicken was fall-apart tender and delicious! =) Put your boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of a heavy-bottomed pot. Cover the chicken completely with fat-free chicken broth...if you don't have enough broth, supplement with water. Add a bay leaf, poultry seasoning, and a tablespoon or two of soy sauce. You can add any other spices you enjoy or slice an onion into the pot, but I had great results with just the bay leaf, poultry seasoning, and soy sauce. Bring to a strong simmer, turn the heat down and let simmer for three hours. The chicken will be fully cooked and delicious. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon, as it might fall apart if you try to use a fork. I had only a small amount of cooking liquid left, so I poured that over the chicken on the serving platter, and then stored it with the leftovers to keep the chicken moist. Very easy and nutritious recipe...the chicken is perfect as is or made into chicken salad or just shredded a little and used as is for sandwiches or chicken tacos. =)
