Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a small, heavy-bottomed pot. Make sure they fit in a single layer. Cover the chicken with broth or water. Add the herbs and bay leaf.
- Begin heating the pot over medium heat, giving the liquid an occasional stir. Once the water temperature reaches 175 to 180, reduce the heat to low so that the water maintains this temperature.
- Partly cover with the pot lid and cook for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat completely and allow the chicken to remain in the hot liquid for about 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the breasts reaches 155 F.
- Remove and slice or shred the chicken. The meat should be cooked through and opaque throughout.
- Serve and enjoy.

POACHED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE
Both the vinaigrette and the poaching liquid for the chicken are prepared with fresh tarragon. (When buying this herb, look for true French tarragon, which has a delicate anise flavor, rather than the coarser Russian variety.)

Steps:
- Make a bouquet garni: Tie tarragon stems, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a small square of cheesecloth. Place bouquet garni, sherry, celery, onion, and 5 cups water in a medium pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to the gently simmering liquid, and cook until firm and juices run clear when pierced with a two-pronged fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove chicken from poaching liquid, and arrange on serving plates. Drizzle with lemon vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Place the chicken in a deep skillet or pot with the onion, celery, carrot, and bay leaves. Cover with just enough water to come to the top of the meat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and then simmer until cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate with tongs and tent with foil. Strain the poaching liquid and reserve 1 cup.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add the butter to melt. Add the shallot and garlic and stir for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir another minute. Stir in the thyme and wine. Add lemon zest and juice, the reserved poaching liquid, and simmer to reduce the sauce and thicken a bit. Stir in the cream, if desired. Slice the chicken and add to the sauce to warm. Serve with bread or a simple pasta dish such as Egg Pasta with Leeks. Garnish with basil and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.
POACHED CHICKEN WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- To make the vinaigrette, combine lemon juice, white-wine vinegar, mustard, and sugar in a small bowl. In a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly, drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is thick and emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped tarragon, and set aside.
- Make a bouquet garni: Tie tarragon stems, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a small square of cheesecloth. Combine the bouquet garni, sherry, celery, onion, and 5 cups water in a medium pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt. Add to the gently simmering liquid, and cook until firm and the juices run clear when pierced with a two-pronged fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the breasts from the poaching liquid, and arrange on serving plates. Drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Tip the carrot, celery and garlic into a large saucepan. Tie the herbs together in a bunch with a piece of kitchen string, then add to the pan with the chicken breasts, water and 2 tsp salt (adding a little more water if it doesn't quite cover the chicken). Bring to the boil, then immediately lower to a simmer and cook over a very low heat for 10-12 mins, or until the juices run clear in the thickest part of the breast.
- Remove the pan from the heat and scoop out the chicken breasts from the poaching liquid. Slice or tear the chicken into pieces and use in salads, soups or sandwiches.

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).

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TARRAGON VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- In a microwave-safe glass pie plate coat the chicken with 2 teaspoons of the oil, arrange it with the thickest parts toward the edge of the plate, and pour the broth over it. Microwave the chicken, its surface covered with an oiled round of wax paper, at high power (100%) for 4 minutes. Turn the chicken, microwave it, covered with the wax paper, at high power for 3 minutes, and microwave it at medium power (50%) for 3 minutes more, or until it is just springy to the touch. Let the chicken stand for 5 minutes.
- While the chicken is standing, in a small bowl whisk together the mustard, the lemon juice, the tarragon, the scallion, and salt to taste and whisk in 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer the chicken to a shallow dish, spoon the vinaigrette over it, and let the chicken cool. Serve the chicken at room temperature.
