Uma salada de frango primavera e trigo bulgur

Poached chicken breasts are either offensively bad or transcendently good—and, sadly, the scale tips drastically in favour of the former. But that’s just because most people don't know how to poach chicken breasts properly. From this point forward, you will not be one of those people. You will poach chicken perfectly, leaving dry, chewy poached chicken in the rear view mirror.
But wait, what is poaching? It's a cooking method mentioned a lot less frequently than roasting or frying or grilling. To poach something is to cook it while submerged in a liquid at a low temperature (read: not boiling). That liquid could be oil, milk, or wine, but most frequently poached in seasoned water.
Poached chicken is one of the world’s easiest recipes, fast and foolproof. Freshly poached chicken is the key to making great chicken salad and many other delicious dishes.
Texture is everything when it comes to great chicken salad. The best dressing can’t do justice to dry, chewy chicken.When you poach chicken breasts from scratch you get fresh tasting, tender, juicy chicken that will elevate your chicken salad up to the highest heights of deliciousness.
