Instructions
Poached Chicken:
- Add chicken to a large pot and cover with cold water, by at least 1 inch. Sprinkle evenly with salt, then add garlic, lemon, and black peppercorns.
- Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees), while you work on the rest of the prep.
- Remove chicken from stock, strain stock and reserve both.
Chicken Salad:
- Dice half of the reserved poached chicken. Add to a medium bowl; add all the filling ingredients and mix well. Season salad with salt and pepper. To serve, lay single leaf lettuce on pita then add roughly 1/2 cup chicken salad. Fold and enjoy immediately. Store chicken salad, lettuce, and pita separately for future servings.
Chicken Soup:
- Place the olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. When hot add the onion and sauté for a few minutes, until onion is tender.
- Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute or two, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add 4 cups of the reserved chicken stock, carrots, and celery. Bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat. Shred half of the reserved cooked chicken; add to soup. Stir in the pepper, and parsley.
