Hello from TINA
KASHIAN! We were getting tired of chicken breast in my house.
My teen girls were complaining that the chicken was either tough, or worse,
rubbery. I saw a poaching technique on a cooking show and decided to try it.
Poaching is a moist cooking technique that works well for chicken breast and
adds flavor. It’s also a healthy, low-fat method which is a plus. You can use
poached chicken breast the next day to make chicken salad as well. Not as
healthy, but it tastes great.
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 pound)
2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Pound the chicken breasts until they are the same size. Salt and pepper both sides. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a pot. Make sure they fit in a single layer. Cover the chicken breasts with chicken broth. Add the herbs and bay leaf.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Partly cover the lid of the pot and simmer for ten minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the chicken to remain in the hot liquid for 20 minutes.
Serve with your favorite sides and/or salad. Enjoy!
