Double Duty

I love any recipe that allows me to create two kitchen staples at the same time while filling the house with a lovely aroma – all from one, lowly chicken.  This Poached Chicken and Savory Broth always makes KilKenney Kitchen a happy place.

I often buy a couple of whole chickens when they’re on sale at my favorite co-op or grocery store and throw them in the freezer.  Then when I have a free Sunday I take a couple of hours, set a pot to work and get a double bonus – 2 quarts of rich, delicious, homemade broth and enough beautiful poached chicken to make my Chicken Enchiladas, Tarragon Chicken Salad or a delicious soup. (Stay tuned for some great soup recipes this fall)

I invite you to take one of these chilly afternoons and make this Poached Chicken and Savory Broth – your kitchen will quickly become a happy place too!
