How To Poach A Chicken
I just poached my first chicken! It’s so easy…I’ll be doing this from now on when I want to add chicken to my salad. I was inspired by this recipe. I didn’t have sake…or even salt and pepper (I’m not home) so all I used was a boneless chicken breast and water. It still came out tasty and super moist! To sum it up here’s the easiest way to poach a chicken:
1. Fill a pot/pan with enough water to cover the chicken
2. Heat it up until it starts to boil
3. Flip the chicken, take pot off the heat, and cover with a tight fitting lid and leave for 15 minutes.
4. Check to make sure it’s cooked, if not let sit for longer.
5. Shred and eat or store chicken in its liquid in the fridge for up to 3 days!
