How to Make Juicy Chicken for Salads

Perfect!

I need a video on how to cook chicken breast in an instant pot (thawed and frozen). I follow other youtuber's instuctions and it always comes out dry and stringy. :*(

What about the seasoning? I don't like bland chicken.

Trying this tomorrow ty

Its actually much more flavorful to slow bake chicken breasts on the bone, and then use the meat. It ends up the same texture, but much more flavorful since all the juices are retained. Sous vide chicken will also be the same soft texture, but have more flavor (if you have a home sous vide gadget)

I like the idea, I'll try it. Thank you.

Brine your chicken

Grilling the chicken gives it flavor. This is gross flavor less textureless boiled chicken.

Do you think this would work for a homemade chicken soup?

I wonder if I could add herbs or spices to the pot to add flavor to the chicken. What do you think?

I never thought to poach chicken breasts for salads, I usually just bake it, or cook in a pan, I'll have to try this out..

me no like.

Finally, a use for my steamer basket!

I use my sous vide cooker in this same method.

That seems like a lot of babysitting and temp checking.

Wouldn’t pressure cookers yield similar results ?

Bland

Tips on what to do with leftover water?

Would using a broth or stock improve the flavor (although that would be a lot of broth to waste as a poaching liquid)? "Bland as boiled chicken" is a phrase for tasteless, flavorless, meat and this technique is basically – boiled chicken. I know you do not want the chicken to over-whelm the salad, but we want flavor.
