Quick question – boiling chicken

[TobyTeaCosy and Angela]

Hi all, Toby still a bit off colour tonight but Al, my trusty man in the kitchen, is at work.  Got chicken breast for Toby’s tea, how long do I boil it for, cut into bits first etc?  How wierd is that, only ever fry or bake it!

Til its done!  Poke it in the middle and see if its still raw or cooked.  You can cut it up or shred it, i doubt if Toby will mind  🙂

Cool, thanks lovey, had a bit of a moment there just looking at it thinking ‘now is it def safe to BOIL chicken’!  :-*  :-*  :-*

Yeah! Its lovely like that, although for humans you’d poach it in a nice stock probs, makes it lovely and moist  🙂

and give him the water once it is cooled down  😉  dont boil it though just simmer it – boil it and you will take all the goodness out it

Thanks guys, he very little, so another question, how much can he have, I know it is to be potato with a bit of chicken rather than a lot of chicken, he weighs 6.7kg?

He loved it, gave him about half of what I cooked and it has stayed down.  Do you lot reckon he could have the leftover mash and chick cold for breakfast if poorly tums or should I cook up a fresh batch in the AM?

Thank you, saves me cooking chicken and tatties first thing!  He loved it, was a joy to watch after he been ill and he really enjoyed it!

The last simmering session i did was with 4 breasts and it took no time at all… About 10-15mins! Hope the pooch feels better soon! 🙂
