Recipe by Littlesponger: Poached Chicken Breasts
Interesting flavor but I think I'd really prefer to drink the wine and cook the breasts in bouillon.
Moist and juicy. Had to add some salt upon serving.
Didn't shred as per instructions. Thickly sliced and served up with mashed potatoes and a lump of spaghetti.

ha! Drink the wine... haha
That is interesting though. I've never heard of poaching chicken breasts in wine. At least they were moist and juicy! I guess one would be juicy after being poached in wine though. :)

LOL You are too funny Points! What kind of wine were you Not drinking in this? I have never heard poaching chicken in wine either! I am not fond of cooking with white wine except in certain things and even then I use a minimal amount. It seems to turn into a different weird taste for me. I don't mind cooking with a good red wine like a "Beaujolais Superior" as it doesn't seem to do that? As Frankie says a least they were moist and juicy! It might possibly be nice with that stock being reduced with some extra herbs and things thrown in? Thanks for letting us know about this one, Points:)

It was a blush zinfandel with strawberry overtones and a screw top.
Was going to make gravy with the leftover simmer sauce but I used it to simmer some potatoes.

So it was sweet a wine you yourself would drink? As they say "Never to cook with a wine you wouldn't drink"! I suppose that is a good rule when you think of it. If not use apple or grape juice or a comparable juice to the recipe. Interesting I wouldn't have thought of simmering the potatoes in the sauce how did they taste? Any overtones of the sauce at all?
