Poached chicken

No reviews yet

All poached meat has got itself a bad reputation in this country, maybe because we used to boil the hell out of it, leaving it grey and unappetising, but in fact cooking meat at a bare simmer produces not only tender, moist meat but also a crystal clear stock that can be served as a starter or used in soups. Serve this chicken dish with pungent salsa verde and steamed rice.' (Ben Watson)
