Preparing Juicy Chicken
If you are looking for a way to make juicy chicken without the calories from using oil, try poaching. When poaching chicken, add enough water to a large heavy pot to cover the chicken and add 2 teaspoons of salt and at least 1 cup of good quality white wine and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until no longer pink.
