Poached Chicken Salad

Poached Chicken Salad

This is something that I whipped up for lunch after the Christmas period. I'm feeling full and bloated after all the extra food that seems to be consumed at Christmas.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of Chicken stock
• 1 tsp dried Thyme
• Salt & Pepper
• 500g Chicken Breast
• Salad ingredients - Baby Spinach, Mushroom, Capsicum, Onion, Cucumber etc
• Small handful off mixed nuts/seeds

Method

1. Place stock, Thyme, and seasoning in a pot. Bring to the boil
2. Place Chicken breast into the stock. Again, bring the water to the boil.
3. Once Boiling, lower heat and let Chicken simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, prepare salad with desired ingredients
5. Leave Chicken in the stock for another 5 minutes.
6. Take Chicken out of stock and slice once cool enough.
7. Serve Chicken with salad and top with nuts and seeds

Note

• keep left over chicken in an air tight container in the fridge. May last a day or so.
• You may add other seasoning to the stock as desired
• I also added a Macadamia Dukkuh to the seed mix which added some flavour.
