About Poached chicken breast
Poached chicken breast is a simple, flavorful dish featuring boneless chicken cooked gently in water or broth. Typically seasoned with herbs, spices, or aromatics, this cooking method originates from various cuisines across the globe, prized for its moisture retention and delicate taste. Often associated with health-conscious eating, poaching eliminates the need for added oils or fats, making the chicken lower in calories and saturated fat compared to fried or roasted options. Rich in lean protein, poached chicken supports muscle growth and repair while being modest in cholesterol, depending on portion size. Its mild flavor pairs well with nutrient-dense sides like vegetables and whole grains. However, if prepared using overly salty broths or with heavy sauces, sodium levels may increase, which is worth monitoring. Overall, poached chicken breast is a versatile, healthy option for balanced diets.
