Poached Breast Of Chicken With Whisky Sauce Recipes

POACHED CHICKEN BREAST

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).

POACHED CHICKEN WITH GARLIC-HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the garlic, scallions, fennel fronds and chicken to the pot and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Fill a bowl with salted ice water. Transfer the chicken to the ice water using tongs; let sit 30 seconds, then remove to a cutting board.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic, scallions and fennel fronds to a blender; add 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the green beans to the pot, remove from the heat and let sit 5 minutes; drain.
• Add the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, parsley and basil to the blender and puree; season with pepper. Cut the chicken into pieces and serve with the vegetables; drizzle with the herb sauce.

Steps:

• In high-sided skillet over medium-low heat, bring the broth to a simmer. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, onions and seasoning packet and stir to combine. Add the chicken to the skillet and cover. Simmer on low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet when cooked through. Slice in 1/2-inch thick slices.
• Add the peppers with their liquid to a blender along with 1/3 cup of the poaching liquid. Puree until smooth. If it is too thick, slowly add additional poaching liquid until desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small pot and bring to a simmer.
• Serve the chicken topped with the roasted pepper sauce and alongside the Lemony Rice.
• In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the chicken broth and olive oil and bring to a simmer. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, rice, 1 of the rice seasoning packets and the wine. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
