POACHED CHICKEN BREAST
Poached chicken has much more flavor and a better taste than boiled chicken. If you want to eat more lean protein, give this recipe a try. I like to eat the veggies!

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).

Steps:
- Place chicken in a pot just large enough to hold chicken breast halves and add enough water to cover by 1-inch.
- Add carrot, celery, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt.
- Bring just to a simmer over medium-high heat where bubbles start forming around the edge of the pot. Reduce to medium-low to keep temperature constant, about 170 to 180 degrees.
- Cook, skimming foam from the surface until they reach 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer to a heatproof bowl and strain the liquid over the chicken and let the chicken breasts cool. This will keep them moist and tender. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.
- Separate meat from the bones and cut as desired.

Steps:
- Tip the carrot, celery and garlic into a large saucepan.

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.

Steps:
- Tie the bay leaves, peppercorns, cinnamon stick and garlic together in a piece of cheesecloth as a sachet garni. Combine the water, wine, sachet garni and vegetables in a pot large enough to hold the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, before adding the chicken breast, carefully skimming off any scum and grease that accumulates on the surface of the water. Cook the chicken at a strong simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool the chicken in the poaching liquid in an ice water bath. When thoroughly cold, remove the chicken breasts and keep meat refrigerated until ready to serve. Bouillon may be strained and saved and used within 3 days to poach again.;
POACHED CHICKEN BREAST (CROCK POT)
This recipe is so handy to have cooked chicken on hand for casseroles, burritos, fajitas, chicken pot pies, pasta, stir fries, pizza, chicken sandwiches, soups, salads...... Can't get any easier than this!!! My crockpot gets heavy duty time in the summer when all we want to eat is salads and you don't want to get the big oven going! The chicken comes out moist and suprisingly, very taste

Steps:
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker and pour over the broth. Cover and cook on LOW for 1-1/2 - 2 hours or until cooked. Let cool.
- I chop the chicken and lay it flat in small freezer bags. By using this method, you can break off any amount of chicken that you need and it thaws out quicker. The chicken will keep frozen for 3 months.
- Note: I would start checking to see if the chicken is cooked after 1-1/4 hours. (The original recipe stated 8 hours but taking it out after 6 the chicken was so overcooked, it cut into strings) Alot of the timing dedpends on the crockpot and/or size of chicken breast. Remember, the timing will change if you add/subtract the amount of chicken breast using. The success of this recipe depends on the chicken broth you are using. I use Major chicken broth concentrate -- Campbell chicken broth would work very well. Knoor's chicken cubes are way too salty and the color is not very appealing.

POACHED STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Steps:
- Each breast half will have a thin spare piece of meat loosely attached to the main part of the breast. Pull this off and set aside. Place each chicken breast half and the small piece of meat on a flat surface and pound lightly with a flat mallet.
- Cut one breast half and one small piece of meat into cubes. Put the cubes into the container of a food processor or electric blender. Add the egg white, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne and blend thoroughly while gradually adding the 1/3 cup of cream.
- Spoon an equal portion of the mixture into the center of each of the remaining larger flattened chicken breast pieces. Top each filling with one of the remaining smaller pieces of breast. Carefully fold over the sides of the larger breast pieces to completely enclose the filling. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Lay out 4 rectangles of clear plastic wrap. Place one filled chicken breast in the center of each rectangle. Fold over the sides of the plastic wrap to enclose the stuffed breasts.
- Select a skillet large enough to hold the packages in one layer. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet and sprinkle the shallots over all. Arrange the packages over all and pour the wine between the packages.
- Cover closely, bring to a boil and cook 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the packages from the liquid to a warm serving dish. Leave the liquid in the skillet.
- Unwrap the packages, taking care not to burn your fingers. Reserve any liquid from the packages and add it to the skillet.
- Cook the liquid down until it is almost evaporated. Add the remaining 3/4 cup cream and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper. Cook over relatively high heat 3 minutes until reduced to about 2/3 cup. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible from the solids. Add the parsley to the liquid and swirl in the remaining one tablespoon butter. Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve.
