POACHED CHICKEN, CRUNCHY VEGETABLES, AND HERB DRESSING



Poached Chicken, Crunchy Vegetables, and Herb Dressing image

I used to be put off poaching chicken as I feared it was more complicated than my simple fried version. But it's actually much easier, because while the chicken poaches you can prepare the rest of the food. These days I often poach 3 or 4 chicken breasts at a time, then keep them in the fridge so I can toss them into salads over the following days. Poaching really helps to keep the moisture in the meat, so the end result is much more enjoyable than dried, overcooked chicken.
