Kitchen 101: How to Poach Chicken Breast

By Katie Goodman

kitch101-howtopoach-final.jpg

With summer approaching, it is great to know how to poach chicken so you don't have to turn the oven on every time you'd like to cook a few pieces of chicken breast.

Poaching is a technique that cooks the meat in a slowly simmering liquid. Cooking chicken in liquid keeps the meat moist. Additionally, you can add seasonings to the liquid to flavor your chicken.

Here I've kept the flavors basic for an all-purpose poached chicken, but feel free to adjust it as you'd like.

Poached chicken is perfect for summertime dishes such as chicken salad sandwiches, wraps, or even as a pizza topping.

Fashion-Forward Insulin Pump Accessories

This uplifiting video is about Hanky Pancreas, a line of insulin pump accessories by designer Jessica Floeh. She interviews diabetic women about their insulin pumps and introduces an interchangeable velcro solution to help integrate your pump into your wardrobe and feel really great about an otherwise potentially bothersome device. I'm all for new techno-body fashion, since we'll all eventually be cyborgs anyway. You can vote for Jessica and Hanky Pancreas in the DiabetesMine design challenge.

Our good friend and contributor, Kathie Sever of Future Craft Collective, has created an incredibly clever and charming video for her musician husband, Matt the Electrician. The video for "All I Know" combines Kathie's signature stitchery style with stop motion, resulting in a fun, jaunty experience. It's enough that the song is catchy as all get out, but seeing the layers of vintage fabrics, stitched scenery and playful characters makes it truly great fun. This is a music video you'll want to keep bookmarked for any time you're needing a pick-me-up.
