cheatin' chicken soup

Warm up some store bought broth, cook carrots in the micro, and
toss in celery, the cut up poached/cooked chicken. Add more seasonging to taste. Cook some pasta separately (drain/rinse) and throw that into the
soup. Not too much or it will suck up all the broth.
=================================================
poached chicken
More a technique than a recipe, poached chicken is a great way to
cook boneless, skinless chicken. No oil or fat is required, yet the
end result is succulent, flavorful low-fat chicken worthy of any
recipe. Poach chicken for sandwiches, as a filling for
chicken pot pies, burritos and salads.

adding flavor can turn ordinary though succulent chicken
into something quite extraordinary. Your poaching liquid can be fat-
free chicken broth, white wine, water infused with fresh or dried
herbs and chopped vegetables, fruit juices, light coconut milk pretty
much anything.

How to Make Poached Chicken Breasts
The keys to poaching are: the size of the pan, the volume of
liquid and the cooking temperature.

> Place chicken breasts in a pot that's just about large enough to
fit them in one layer.
> Add poaching liquid so that it completely covers the chicken by at
least a half inch to an inch.
> After bringing the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to a bare simmer
so that only an occasional bubble breaks the surface. At this point,
partly cover the pot, cook for about 10 minutes, then turn off the
heat, leaving the chicken to finish cooking in the hot water for 10-
15 more minutes.
> Remove chicken, then enjoy it warm or refrigerate it for later
use. Slice or shred your poached chicken depending on what you want
to use it for.
================================================== ==
BBQ Chicken/Pork/Beef
In a slow cooker add meat of choice and your fav bbq sauce. Cook until tender. Then shred the meat, mix with the sauce, put on a bun or over rice and enjoy.
