SIMPLE POACHED HERBED CHICKEN

Steps:

• place chicken in a stockpot or pan large enough for the chicken and other ingreedients to be completely covered with liquid.
• place carrots, celery, and onion around chicken in pot.
• combine chicken broth, bullion, and enough water to cover veggies and chicken in pot.
• add herbs (red pepper flakes, garlic powser, celery seed, bay leaves and seasonal fresh herbs).
• bring to a rolling simmer, reduce heat and simmer gently 1 hour.
• remove chicken from liquid, set aside to cool.
• increase heat to rolling boil for ten minutes or until reduced to desired thickness.
• remove from heat and strain broth into jar. Broth can be stored in refrigerator for up to one week, or in the freezer indefinitely.
• Using two forks, shred chicken into bite-sized pieces. Use in salads, wraps and sandwiches, or pastas.
