Make Delicious, Flavorful Poached Chicken With Kitchen Scraps

Poached chicken is an indispensable ingredient for chicken salad, but it can sometimes be a little bland. Throwing herb, veggie, and even cheese scraps into your poaching liquid infuses the chicken with extra flavour, while making you feel virtuous for not wasting one bit of produce.
