    Any suggestions on using up the poaching liquid? It seems a shame to waste it. I used chicken stock paste as I didn't have any veg on hand.Thank you.

    I use this recipe at least once a week to keep a stock of cooked, portioned chicken in the fridge and/or freezer. I then use it to add to stir fries, soups, curries, pasta dishes, fried rice, salads or simply for sandwiches and wraps througout the week. A healthy addition to any quick meals. And the water left in bowl after poaching is a perfect stock for soup! All round winner.

    Great recipe.....was making a Vietnamese chicken salad so added a couple of kafir lime leaves to the poaching liquid and it flavoured the chicken nicely.
