How to Poach Chicken Breasts

I cook for myself and my boyfriend, and sometimes small family gatherings. I tend to improvise often but am trying to be more controlled and organized to get consistent results with recipes.

1 to 4 skinless chicken breasts (bone-in or boneless)

½ to 1 teaspoon salt

Aromatics: smashed garlic, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon peppercorns, sliced ginger, fresh herbs, thinly sliced onions, or any other flavorings

1 cup dry white wine (optional)

subheading: Equipment:

2 to 4-quart sauce saucepan with lid, large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer

Instant-read thermometer

Cutting board

Knife
