CREOLE-POACHED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute the onions, celery and pepper in oil until tender. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°. Remove chicken; keep warm., Return cooking juices to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until most of the sauce is evaporated. Serve with chicken.

BASIC POACHED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large, straight-sided skillet or pot, combine all ingredients except chicken; cover with water by 1/2 inch. Bring to a boil over high. Add chicken and return to a boil. Cook 3 minutes, then cover skillet and remove from heat. Let stand until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove chicken from poaching liquid immediately.

POACHED CHICKEN BREAST

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.

HOISIN SAUCE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Cook the chicken. In a medium skillet, bring the chicken stock to a simmer over medium-high heat. Submerge the chicken breasts in the stock, then reduce the heat to low and poach until the meat is completely cooked through and the internal temperature in the thickest part of the chicken breast registers 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut the meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Set aside. Let the chicken stock cool and reserve for another use.
• Make the pasta. In a medium pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Line a sheet pan with a clean kitchen towel and set aside. Season the water with salt until it tastes like sea water. Plunge the pasta in the water and cook until cooked but still chewy ("al dente"), 4 to 6 minutes. Place a colander in the sink. Reserve a little pasta water, then drain the pasta thoroughly. Shake the colander a few times to remove excess water. Spread the pasta on the towel so it cools more quickly. Gently use a second towel to cover and pat the pasta dry. (Removing the excess moisture assures that the sauce will have a full flavor effect on the noodles.)
• Make the sauce. In a large bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar and hot sauce. Adjust the seasonings. Stir in half of the scallions. Set aside.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add some of the reserved water if necessary. Transfer the pasta and sauce to a large serving bowl. Set aside.
• Arrange the chicken on top of the pasta. Top the pasta with the reserved sesame seeds and remaining scallions.

MARINARA POACHED CHICKEN FROM FROZEN

Steps:

• Add the chicken to a large skillet and cover completely with the marinara sauce. Bring the marinara to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer, flipping the chicken once halfway through and rotating the pan every so often to ensure even cooking, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
• Remove the chicken from the marinara sauce, then slice it and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the pasta and reserved cooking water to the marinara sauce and cook over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until the sauce coats the pasta, 1 to 2 minutes.
• To serve, divide the pasta among 4 plates and top each with some sliced chicken and parsley if using.

POACHED CHICKEN

PASTA WITH PESTO AND POACHED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions, adding chicken the last 5 to 6 minutes of cooking.
• Cook till pasta is tender but firm and chicken is no longer pink.
• Drain pasta and chicken.
• Rinse with cold water, drain again.
• Combine pesto and sour cream in a large mixing bowl.
• Add pasta/chicken mixture, chopped veggies and tomato.
• Toss lightly to coat.
• If desired, sprinkle with nuts.

BASIC POACHED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Remove the gizzards, heart, neck and liver from the chicken. Pull off any excess fat from the edges of cavity. Rinse the chicken in cold water, pat dry on paper towels and rub with the lemon juice. Place in a large, deep pot and cover with cold water to a depth of two inches. If necessary to fit the chicken comfortably in the pot, it can be split in half. Rinse the gizzards, heart and neck and add them as well. Reserve the liver for another use. It should not be added to poached chicken, because it will make the stock bitter. It can be frozen. The excess fat can be sauteed slowly in a small skillet to use for frying or it can also be frozen for future use.
• Bring the water with the chicken to a boil.
• While the water is coming to a boil, cut the root and top ends off the onions but do not peel them. The skin will enhance the color of the soup. Trim the roots and most of the green off the leeks and trim the root ends off the carrots. Cut or break the celery if necessary to fit it into the pot. Add the garlic. Tie the parsley and dill together in a piece of cheesecloth.
• When the chicken has come to a boil, reduce the heat to a steady simmer and skim the surface of the water, removing the scum as it accumulates. Do this for at least five minutes, until relatively little scum reappears.
• Add the vegetables, herbs and peppercorns. Continue simmering the chicken and vegetables slowly, skimming the surface from time to time, for one hour, until the juices of the chicken run clear when the thigh is pricked with a sharp fork. If necessary, additional water can be added to the pot during the cooking.
• Remove the chicken from the pot, allowing it to drain well. Set it aside, covered, in a shallow bowl.
• Pour the contents of the pot through a colander set into another large pot or a deep bowl that holds at least six quarts. Clean the original cooking pot. Pour the soup through a large, very fine strainer into the cooking pot. If you do not have a large very fine strainer, use a large strainer with a coarser mesh and line it with a clean linen napkin.
• Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until it has reduced and concentrated somewhat. Do not allow it to come to a boil or it will turn cloudy. When the soup tastes rich enough, season it with salt.
• While the soup is simmering, retrieve vegetables you wish to serve with it and cut them into one-inch pieces. Remove the skin from the chicken and cut it into serving pieces.
• Serve the chicken and vegetables in bowls, with the hot soup spooned over them. If desired, noodles or rice can be cooked separately and added to the soup as well.

POACHED CHICKEN FOR CHICKEN POTPIE

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large stockpot. Add remaining ingredients and enough water to cover chicken. Bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off any foam; discard. Reduce heat to low; simmer until chicken has just cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a plate, and let cool slightly. Pour stock through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Set aside 1 1/2 cups stock for potpie; reserve remaining stock for another use. Remove skin from chicken; discard. Remove meat from bones, and tear into bite-size pieces. (You should have about 4 cups.)
