This is the best 14-Poaching Chicken recipe on the web!!
Poached chicken is great to use recipes calling for cooked chicken. Check out the many different ways to add flavor to the poached chicken, too. It's so easy; here's how:
1. Put chicken pieces, either bone-in or boneless, in a saucepan or skillet that is large enough so that the chicken can be completely covered with liquid (see suggestions in list below). Add enough liquid just to cover chicken.
2. To increase flavor, add herbs, seasonings and vegetables to the liquid, and heat until boiling. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer the chicken until the juice is no longer pink when the centers of the thickest pieces are cut. Allow about 15 minutes per pound for it to be completely cooked.
3. Refrigerate chicken in poaching liquid until cool. Remove chicken from liquid and cut up as desired.
