POACHED CHICKEN BREAST

Poached chicken has much more flavor and a better taste than boiled chicken. If you want to eat more lean protein, give this recipe a try. I like to eat the veggies!

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
32 fluid ounces water, or more if needed
1 yellow onion, peeled and slits cut into it
1 bunch celery, stalks (including leaves) separated
3 carrots
2 tablespoons tomato paste, or more to taste
1 tablespoon salt
5 whole black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, each cut in half

Steps:

  • Combine chicken stock, water, yellow onion, celery, carrots, tomato paste, salt, peppercorns, and bay leaf in a large pot; bring to a gentle simmer. Decrease heat to medium-low and simmer, checking the flavor occasionally, until vegetables are slightly tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Bring stock to a boil and add chicken, pouring in more water if chicken isn't completely covered in liquid. Bring poaching liquid to a boil; remove pot from heat and cover tightly with a lid until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 carrot, roughly sliced
1 celery stick, roughly chopped
3 large garlic cloves
½ small bunch parsley
½ small bunch dill
4 skinless chicken breasts
1l cold water

Steps:

  • Tip the carrot, celery and garlic into a large saucepan. Tie the herbs together in a bunch with a piece of kitchen string, then add to the pan with the chicken breasts, water and 2 tsp salt (adding a little more water if it doesn't quite cover the chicken). Bring to the boil, then immediately lower to a simmer and cook over a very low heat for 10-12 mins, or until the juices run clear in the thickest part of the breast.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and scoop out the chicken breasts from the poaching liquid. Slice or tear the chicken into pieces and use in salads, soups or sandwiches.

Provided by Fiona Haynes

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Ingredient

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless; about 1 pound)
1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth (fat-free and low-sodium, or water)
2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a small, heavy-bottomed pot. Make sure they fit in a single layer. Cover the chicken with broth or water. Add the herbs and bay leaf.
  • Begin heating the pot over medium heat, giving the liquid an occasional stir. Once the water temperature reaches 175 to 180, reduce the heat to low so that the water maintains this temperature.
  • Partly cover with the pot lid and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat completely and allow the chicken to remain in the hot liquid for about 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the breasts reaches 155 F.
  • Remove and slice or shred the chicken. The meat should be cooked through and opaque throughout.
  • Serve and enjoy.
