I'll give it a 3 out of 5. It was okay, but not amazing.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the broth was tasteless. I had to throw it all away.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

I found the chicken to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

Delicious and healthy! This poached chicken is a great option for a healthy meal. It's low in fat and calories, but still packed with flavor. I served it with a side of quinoa and roasted vegetables.

Easy peasy! I'm not much of a cook, but this recipe was so easy to follow. The chicken came out moist and tender, and the poaching liquid made a great sauce.

5 stars! This recipe is simple, yet elegant. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the broth was rich and flavorful. I used the broth to make a delicious chicken soup the next day.

Followed the recipe to a T and the chicken turned out perfectly cooked. The poaching liquid added a subtle yet delicious flavor to the chicken. Will definitely be making this again.

This poached chicken recipe is a game-changer! The chicken came out incredibly tender and juicy, with a flavorful broth that elevated the dish. I served it with steamed vegetables and rice, and it was a hit with my family. Highly recommend!
