Description

Poaching is an easy, no mess and low-fuss method for preparing a juicy, tender poached chicken breast that you can use in your favorite chicken recipes.

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1/2 cup white wine or light beer
  • 6 whole peppercorns
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • 1 fresh rosemary sprigs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Place chicken in a single layer in a high-sided saute pan. Add wine or beer, aromatics and enough cold water to cover the chicken breasts by 1-inch. Bring liquid to a low simmer (no rumbling bubbles). Cook 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°. Use tongs to transfer chicken breasts to a plate or cutting board; let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
