Spring Chicken Salad With Smashed Green Beans

Spring Chicken Salad with Smashed Green Beans recipe

Properly-poached chicken breast is truly a thing of beauty—juicy, tender, and a blank canvas for big flavors. And if your only experience with poached chicken is the dry-as-a-bone stuff from the salad bar, then this method will be a revelation. The trick is to cook the chicken very low and slow, so paying attention to your heat level is of the utmost importance. Add some crunchy veggies and a punchy Dijon vinaigrette, and you've got exactly the kind of simple, satisfying composed salad you need when a reset dinner is in order.
