Steps:
- Bring liquids to a simmer in a small to medium skillet and slide in the chicken breast meat. Gently poach the chicken 10 minutes, turning once about after 5 minutes.
- While chicken poaches, heat a second medium skillet over medium low heat. To hot skillet, add extra-virgin olive oil and garlic and onion and gently saute until chicken is ready to come out of poaching liquids. Combine the next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl and reserve.
- When the chicken has cooked through, add 2 ladles of the cooking liquid to the bowl, combining with the sauces, spices, brown sugar and tomato paste. Once the liquids and seasonings are combined, remove chicken, slice it, and transfer to the medium bowl. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken and combine with the liquids. Add the shredded chicken to the onions and garlic and combine well. Simmer together 5 to 10 minutes, using extra cooking liquids to make your chicken as saucy as you like.
- Combine sour and sweet pickles in a small bowl. Split rolls and fill with scoops of shredded chicken. Top with pickle relish and serve.

I'm showing you my favorite marinade and grilling technique for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which can be a challenge, since they're often so dry and bland, but not with this method. Plus, I'm showing you how to make my new favorite thing to eat, which is whipped feta. Serve with grilled red onion and red bell pepper if you like, and garnish with Greek olives.

Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH SALAD
I always seem to have leftover cooked chicken. This simple, tasty salad is a great use of your leftover chicken, either white meat, dark meat, or a combination! Romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, avocado, and cherry tomatoes combine with ranch dressing, and everything is topped off with crunchy bacon. Use purchased ranch salad dressing, or stir up one of the buttermilk dressing recipes on the site. Enjoy for a hearty lunch with some crackers, or for dinner, with a crusty bread. This recipe is proportioned for one person, but it's easy to double or triple for your needs.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler.
- Season the chicken breast cutlets evenly with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan, in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest, tented with foil. Wipe out the pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and milk or half-and-half. Add the roasted peppers and parsley to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, then add the eggs and scramble to your desired doneness with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- While the eggs cook, toast the rolls under the broiler, 1 minute, then remove them to a work surface. Keep the broiler on.
- To assemble, slice the chicken and pile it on the roll bottoms. Top each sammy with one quarter of the eggs and a slice of cheese. Place the sammies back under the broiler for 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Reserve the tops. When the cheese has melted, transfer the sammies to plates and top them with a pile of watercress, then set the roll tops in place.

Steps:
- To make the dressing, put the anchovies in a small bowl, add the vinegar, mustard, garlic and egg, then blitz with a stick blender until well mixed. Gradually add the oil in a thin stream until it thickens into a creamy dressing. Stir in the Parmesan, season and chill until ready to serve.
- For the chicken, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat 1 tbsp chopped tarragon with the butter and anchovies, then rub it under the breast skin of the chicken. Rub any remainder all over the bird and roast for 1 hr until the chicken is golden and nearly cooked. After 1 hr, add the asparagus and beans to the roasting tin around the chicken. Cook for 12 mins, then scatter the peas over and cook for another 3 mins until the chicken is cooked through, the vegetables are tender and the peas are hot.
- Meanwhile, put the croutons on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 mins until golden and crisp.
- Scatter the chicken and vegetables with the croutons and tarragon sprigs, and spoon over a little dressing. Serve the rest of the dressing separately.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken breasts or thighs. Organic, free-range chicken is ideal.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium heat.
- Be sure to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Grilled chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise for the Caesar dressing. Homemade mayonnaise is always best, but a store-bought brand that you like will also work.
- Add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the Caesar dressing for extra flavor.
- Use a variety of toppings on your sandwiches. Some good options include crispy bacon, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately after assembling.
