Poaching is a healthy way to cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts because you don't need to add any oil! Begin by placing boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water (or chicken broth) to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle (10-15 minutes). One pound of raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts yields 2 1/2 cups chopped or shredde...d cooked chicken. You can use cooked chicken breast in sandwiches, soups and salads!
