Description

This poached chicken breast recipe is a simple and healthy way to prepare chicken. I've been making this for years, and it's a great base for salads, soups, or sandwiches. The chicken comes out incredibly tender and juicy, thanks to the gentle poaching in flavorful broth. It's perfect for meal prepping, as you can easily shred or slice the chicken and store it in the fridge for later use. This recipe is naturally low-carb, gluten-free, and lactose-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. It's also a fantastic source of protein!
