If you haven’t tried poaching chicken before, you’re in for a treat.
Cooking it in a saucepan full of stock gives it a delicious tenderness and juiciness that just can’t be beat. Not to mention it requires no oil or butter whatsoever.
You then simply use the same stock to quickly cook your veggies and noodles, and the job is done!
You can really use any veggies that you have on hand, so long as they will benefit from just a few minutes of cooking time.
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, trimmed of any fat, cut into chunks
- 1L chicken or vegetable stock
- 50g ginger, peeled and diced
- ½ head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 tin of baby corn, drained
- 1 red or orange capsicum, finely sliced
- 400g noodles of your choice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- Juice of half a lime
- Small bunch coriander leaves (optional)
Method:
- Place the stock and the ginger into a large pot and bring to the boil.
- Add the chicken and reduce the heat to low.
- Cook the chicken on a gentle simmer for around 15 minutes or until cooked through (cut one chunk in half to check).
- Set aside the chicken, and turn the heat for the stock up to medium.
- Shred the chicken when it is cool enough to handle.
- Add the broccoli, capsicum and baby corn to the stock and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Remove the vegetables and then add the noodles, cooking for the recommended time from the pack.
- Drain the stock from the pan and throw back in the noodles, vegetables and chicken.
- Drizzle with the soy sauce and lime juice, then sprinkle with the coriander if using.
