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!

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).

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.

Steps:
- Remove the gizzards, heart, neck and liver from the chicken. Pull off any excess fat from the edges of cavity. Rinse the chicken in cold water, pat dry on paper towels and rub with the lemon juice. Place in a large, deep pot and cover with cold water to a depth of two inches. If necessary to fit the chicken comfortably in the pot, it can be split in half. Rinse the gizzards, heart and neck and add them as well. Reserve the liver for another use. It should not be added to poached chicken, because it will make the stock bitter. It can be frozen. The excess fat can be sauteed slowly in a small skillet to use for frying or it can also be frozen for future use.
- Bring the water with the chicken to a boil.
- While the water is coming to a boil, cut the root and top ends off the onions but do not peel them. The skin will enhance the color of the soup. Trim the roots and most of the green off the leeks and trim the root ends off the carrots. Cut or break the celery if necessary to fit it into the pot. Add the garlic. Tie the parsley and dill together in a piece of cheesecloth.
- When the chicken has come to a boil, reduce the heat to a steady simmer and skim the surface of the water, removing the scum as it accumulates. Do this for at least five minutes, until relatively little scum reappears.
- Add the vegetables, herbs and peppercorns. Continue simmering the chicken and vegetables slowly, skimming the surface from time to time, for one hour, until the juices of the chicken run clear when the thigh is pricked with a sharp fork. If necessary, additional water can be added to the pot during the cooking.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, allowing it to drain well. Set it aside, covered, in a shallow bowl.
- Pour the contents of the pot through a colander set into another large pot or a deep bowl that holds at least six quarts. Clean the original cooking pot. Pour the soup through a large, very fine strainer into the cooking pot. If you do not have a large very fine strainer, use a large strainer with a coarser mesh and line it with a clean linen napkin.
- Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until it has reduced and concentrated somewhat. Do not allow it to come to a boil or it will turn cloudy. When the soup tastes rich enough, season it with salt.
- While the soup is simmering, retrieve vegetables you wish to serve with it and cut them into one-inch pieces. Remove the skin from the chicken and cut it into serving pieces.
- Serve the chicken and vegetables in bowls, with the hot soup spooned over them. If desired, noodles or rice can be cooked separately and added to the soup as well.

- Place the chicken breasts into the pot. Add in cold water until the breasts are covered by about an inch of water, and season with salt. If you'd like to add aromatics like lemon slices, onions, garlic or herbs, you can add them now.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. If you see some white froth accumulate on the surface, that's just fat from the chicken. You can optionally skim it off if you plan to save the liquid. Otherwise, don't worry about it.
- Let the chicken simmer for 8-12 minutes (depending on the size/thickness of your chicken) or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
