How to Poach Chicken Breasts



  • Chop one large onion.
  • Chop one large carrot.
  • Chop two large celery ribs.
  • Pour two cups of chicken broth into a wide high-sided skillet.
  • Place onions, carrots, and celery ribs in chicken broth.
  • Bring to boil.
  • When stock is boiling, put in 2 to 4 chicken breasts and cover.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Flip chicken breasts over.
  • Simmer for an additional 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, they should be cooked through.
How do you know the breasts are done?  With an instant-read thermometer check the internal temperature. At the thickest point the breast should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
