Recipe: fail-proof poached chicken
 
 
Ingredients
  • Chicken (as much as your recipe calls for)
  • A splash of white wine
  • Water
  • A couple of bay leaves
  • A small piece of fresh ginger
  • A few black peppercorns
  • Sea salt
Instructions
  1. Dice the chicken up into roughly equal sized pieces.
  2. Arrange the chicken at the bottom of a pan, trying to make sure none of the pieces overlap
  3. Pour the wine over first, then add cold water until the chicken is completely submerged by about 5cm of water.
  4. Throw in the bay leaves, ginger, peppercorns, then season.
  5. Bring the water to a boil, then when it boils reduce the heat and allow it to simmer.
  6. If you’re going to use the liquid, you’ll want to spoon off the scum that will come to the top.
  7. Simmer the chicken for a few minutes until thoroughly cooked. Ideally, you’ll want to use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked all the way through before removing from the heat, otherwise, test the largest piece to ensure it’s cooked all the way through, and the juices run clear.
  8. Once cooked, drain the chicken pieces and shred, or use as they are.
