Poached Chicken Breast

Had to teach the Elderly a healthy food item in Bethel one day at the Senior Center. No I didn't get in trouble and had to community service . It's easy to make and I will add a little flair at the end for ya .
1 Pkg Boneless Skinless Thin Sliced Chicken Breast ( No Tenders)
Bunch of Asparagus ( Blanche your Asparagus)
Jar of Whole Pimientos
Old Bay seasoning
Crushed Black Pepper
Saran Wrap

Take a nice large piece of saran wrap and lay flat on cutting board.
Place 1 chicken breast in middle of saran wrap. ( I'll just call it wrap.)
Sprinkle breast with Old Bay and a little Black Pepper
In center of chicken place 3 pieces of blanched asparagus lengthwise along with 3 cut strips of pimiento.
Carefully Roll up the chicken with the asparagus and pimiento inside and wrap the saran tightly around the the chicken. It should look like a tootsie roll log. Wrap it again very tightly withSaran Wrap and tuck the edges down so no water can seep into saran wrap.

You should have 4 to 5 chicken breasts stuffed and wrapped seprately.

Next bring a pot of water to a rapid boil. When boiling place your wrapped chicken breasts into the water for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove chicken from water and carefully unwrap. you should have a nice long poached breast with the veggies.

With sharp knife snip the edge of chicken log off at each end. next cut the chicken about 1 inch up from the end on a bias. Go one inch up again and cut straight . then one inch up again and cut on a bias. You should be able to sit each slice up on a plate so it sort of points up. You know ladies like when you take the top off your lipstick. Geez I know too much don't I. LOL.

For Presentation I like to drizzle Hollandaise sauce over the chicken or even a Bernaise sauce, You can buy the easy pkgs. in the sauce section of your market. It's a just add water thing but they are good . Serve with Cous Cous its a great and healthy grain.

You don't always have to add the above items to the chicken. I have added crabmeat , shrimp, tomato,green bean and even fresh herbs such as Basil. Anything you want.

Note: I keep presenting these recipes at their easiest to prepare for the non cooking person. Ex. you can buy the pkg. at your local market. There will be actual sauce recipes and other unknown items to prepare as this blog continues.
