Poaching it is, then! Pretty easy in this case anyway, even my wife could cook it

Amy (or anyone else), is the recipe for your fabulous chicken salad posted here? I had it, but it is now lost on my last computer casualty. I know it was on TOB, but I couldn't find it. Could I get it again, pretty please? It is so yummy, and summer has finally come to MN. Thanks in advance. |

A quick search of TOB yielded what I wrote... It's all approximate. Thanks for liking it. 3-1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt and pepper 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice 1 Tbs butter 2 cups chicken broth 2 cups water 1/2 cup toasted almond slices 2/3 cup green grapes, halved 1/3 cup chopped fresh pineapple 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 3/4 cup diced celery 1/3 cup diced shallots 3 Tbs minced fresh tarragon 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2/3 cup crème fraîche Arrange chicken breasts in single layer in a skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with lemon juice and dot with butter. Pour the chicken broth and water around the breasts. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until breasts are tender and meat no longer shows sign of pink. Remove from heat and let chicken breasts cool in poaching liquid. Remove chicken breasts from liquid and cut into 1/4" dice. Reserve poaching liquid. Combine the chicken with the almonds, grapes, pineapple, lemon juice, celery, shallots, tarragon, mayonnaise and crème fraîche. Loosen with a little of the reserved poaching liquid if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld. |

Funny, I made it on Saturday (had some leftover grilled chicken) and it was in the 90's, and it definitely hit the spot.....thanks for the recipe. |

I did the chicken SV last time. It was almost too tender after it melded with the mayo and crème fraîche. I think next time I'll stick with poaching. Amy |

Ah, yeah it can be overly tender. I make sure I cook chicken breasts for under an hour, but I could easily see it getting to be "too much" with mayo, etc. |
