Lemon-Thyme Poached Chicken Breasts
Main Dishes Greek Basic Meal Ingredient Broths and Stocks Meal Prep Recipe Poultry Quick and Easy Recipe
Poached chicken is a great ingredient to have in your fridge so a handful of meals are always quick to prepare throughout the week. Add it to salads, wraps, soups, casseroles, quesadillas, the possibilities are endless! Once it is cooked, the chicken can be sliced, cubed, or shredded, depending on how you will use it. The ingredients for this are really quite flexible. I always like to at least add some aromatics and herbs such as garlic, shallots, onions, or leeks and thyme, rosemary, oregano, or bay leaves. It is up to you and what you have on hand in your pantry.
