SMOKE-POACHED CHICKEN BREASTS



Smoke-Poached Chicken Breasts image

Poaching sounds chef-toque complicated, but simmering meat in a liquid on the stovetop is pretty straightforward and keeps the kitchen cooler in hot weather. Better yet, poaching is especially good for keeping the usually dry chicken breast meat moist. We even add a smoky component to the poaching liquid for terrific smoked chicken salads and sandwiches. For chicken salad, aim for a balance of smoke, sweet, and savory. The smoke really takes to fresh and dried fruits like green apple, pineapple, mango or papaya, raisins, dried cherries, or cranberries. Parsley and green onion are always a good choice, and celery and good mayonnaise are a must.

Yield makes 3 to 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 14-ounce can chicken broth
1/4 cup bottled smoke
2 celery ribs, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, sliced into thin wedges
1 bay leaf
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds)

Steps:

  • COMBINE the chicken broth, 3 cups water, the bottled smoke, celery, onion, and bay leaf in a large skillet with straight sides.
  • BRING the broth to a low boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Carefully add the chicken. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, partially covered, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • REMOVE the chicken and discard the poaching liquid.

This is a delicious and different way to enjoy chicken breasts, with plenty of smoky flavor! Brining the chicken before smoking allows it to stay moist and flavorful. They are a great addition to a salad, on a sandwich, or just by themselves!

Time 8h5m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups water
¼ cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts
maple wood chips
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Combine water, kosher salt, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl. Stir until salt and brown sugar are dissolved. Place chicken breasts into brine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat an electric smoker according to manufacturer's directions to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) using maple wood chips.
  • Remove chicken breasts from brine and rinse under cold water. Pat dry. Combine salt, black pepper, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Sprinkle dry rub all over chicken breasts and place skin-side up on a grill rack in the preheated smoker. Place a drip pan underneath.
  • Smoke chicken breasts in the preheated smoker until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 4 hours, adding maple wood chips as necessary to keep the smoke continuous. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
