Instructions

  1. In a 2.5 quart pot, combine the chicken breast, water, carrot, celery, onion, 3 whole cloves of garlic, parsley, and black peppercorns.

  3. Remove chicken breast from the pot and set aside to cool.
  4. Strain the vegetables from the poaching liquid, reserving the liquid (toss the vegetables – they’ve given everything they have to the broth).
