Poached Chicken
Over on my stories recently I’ve been showing you how I poach a whole chicken. I first tried this method after seeing it on @Franwarde ‘s page last year and now do it every other week. Poaching a chicken gives you the most juicy chicken imaginable and at the same time creates delicious homemade stock. Quite often I turn it into ramen as the boys LOVE it and other times I cook the chicken simply to have cold cuts in the fridge which can be used for sandwiches, salads, soups, pasta’s or risotto’s. I promised you the recipe a while back so hear it is.
A Large pot
1 medium chicken
1 tablespoons miso paste - I like white or red for this
2 onions - peeled & halved
5 whole garlic cloves
1 bulb or celery - halved
Herbs - during the summer months from the garden - dill, rosemary, thyme
Enjoy water to nearly cover the chicken
1 teaspoon salt
A few peppercorns
TO TURN INTO RAMEN
Add any of the following -
A nest of dried noodles per person
Grated carrot
Mushrooms
Pack Choi
Spinach
Seaweed
Spring onion
Hard boiled eggs
Miso paste to taste
METHOD
Add everything to a large pot. Place a lid on top. Bro g to a simmer and cook for 1 hour 15 for a small chicken, 1 hour 20 for a medium 1 hour 30 minutes for a large chicken. Turn off the heat and leave the chicken sitting in the hot stock for 30-45 minutes.
I love how simple yet versatile this recipe is. Having ready-to-go cold cuts for salads and sandwiches during the week is a total game changer for busy schedules! Beyond daily kitchen routines, staying informed on critical national developments is also vital—such as the recent heartbreaking reports where Newborns Die in Islamabad. Appreciate you compiling this!
