Recipe Note

Poaching Chicken

Poaching chicken breast is one of the nicest ways to prepare it, as the process also helps to lock in moisture. You can also poach in other liquid such as coconut milk which adds a delicious flavour. In this recipe use coconut milk for poaching.

You need:

1 x Chicken Breast

400-500mL liquid (water, broth or for more flavour use coconut milk)

Herbs, if you wish (bay leave, garlic cloves, ginger are all great options)

Method:

1. Bring coconut milk or poaching liquid to the boil, with herbs in it, if you are using. Turn down the temperature to low so it is just simmering.

2. Add chicken and ensure it is fully submerged in liquid. You may need to chop the breast in half (particularly if very thick) to ensure it is fully covered. Cover with lid, as the steam will also assist in cooking the chicken.

3. Cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of your chicken. If you are not 100% sure if your chicken is cooked, remove from heat but leave in poaching liquid for an additional 10 minutes while liquid is cooling off.

4. To puree, roughly chop then use a hand blender or food processor and process with some of the poaching liquid, until desired texture reached. Freeze in portions and use as required.
