Welcome Back and Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all got spoilt rotten and had a lovely holiday season! It is time to get back into the swing of things and show you my new, favourite and absolute easiest chicken recipe!
My beautiful friend Emily, who is so into the healthy, exercising, live your life well lifestyle, has told me about Poached Chicken!
Now I have seen this in recipes, menus and all over the country, but I always turned my nose up to it because, well when there is crumbed, grilled or fried chicken, why would you want anything else! But Emily, bless her, has said this is the easiest thing she has ever cooked and it is so versatile!
I have so far used it in my lunches, pastas, risottos and general meals and have not got sick and tired of it because I can do so much with it. So here it is, the fabulous and delicious Poached Chicken!
