Notes
How to Poach Chicken Breast:
If you want to poach your chicken breast, follow these simple steps:
- In a small pot, cover the chicken breast with broth; if it is not enough, add water.
- Bring to a boil with salt, pepper, a piece of celery, and its leaves (you may also add herbs like parsley, garlic, onion, or anything you wish). Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, cover tightly, and allow set for 15-20 minutes, or until the thickest section of the breast reaches 160 degrees.
- The chicken will be cooked thoroughly. Allow it to cool and then cut.
