Poached Chicken

Poaching is a great way to cook chicken breast so they don't try out and, it is much healthier than canned chicken which can include a lot of salt which promotes inflammation!
Pick N Save has chicken breasts on sale and I am pairing it with coupons and coming up with the tastiest money saving around! It is normally $4.79/lb. and I got it for $1.99/lb. So, I grabbed a bunch of both to make my featured recipe today:

Poached Chicken
Ingredients:
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 sprigs parsley, optional

Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan on medium heat, combine broth and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add chicken and, if desired, parsley. Cook for 6 minutes, adjusting heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and let stand until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
