Perfectly moist poached chicken. I added tarragon in place of the thyme.
Simple and lovely. Trust the timing. Makes a delicious broth to use later.
Very easy & delicious. Finished breasts were very moist too. I used mine on homemade Caesar salad but they'd be perfect for a mayo chicken salad, chicken sandwiches or just on their own for dinner. Froze the reserved broth for use later in the Fall.
