                Once I made chicken breasts this way, it is the ONLY way I make them.  VERY tender and flavorful.  If I'm making them for enchiladas, I leave out the veggies and just use onion, salt and pepper and add bouillon cubes (2).  Love it!

poached chicken breasts

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
  • 1 medium carrot, halved crosswise
  • 1 medium rib celery, halved crosswise
  • 3 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt

Directions

Place chicken in a pot just large enough to hold chicken breast halves and add enough water to cover by 1-inch.

Add carrot, celery, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt.

Bring just to a simmer over medium-high heat where bubbles start forming around the edge of the pot. Reduce to medium-low to keep temperature constant, about 170 to 180 degrees.

Cook, skimming foam from the surface until they reach 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 18 minutes.

Transfer to a heatproof bowl and strain the liquid over the chicken and let the chicken breasts cool. This will keep them moist and tender. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.

Separate meat from the bones and cut as desired.
