Chicken Breast Poached

By LLRedd

Ingredients

• 4 coins fresh ginger
• 2 sprigs coriander
• 3 scallions
• 1 small carrot, halved
• 1 1/2 pounds skinless chicken breasts halves, on the bone
• 4 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned

Preparation

Step 1

Put the ginger, coriander, scallions, carrot, and chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with the broth, and bring just to a boil. Lower the heat to very low and cover. Poach the chicken for 20 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover, and cool the chicken in the liquid, about 30 minutes. Bone and pull the chicken into bite-size pieces. Save the broth.



Toss the chicken with the remaining salad ingredients and toss with the dressing. Wrap about 1/3 cup of the salad in a lettuce leaf. Serve 3 to 4 lettuce leaves per person with a wedge of lime if desired.
