Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Tips To toast sesame seeds, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors. How to Poach Chicken Breasts If you don't have leftover chicken but you want to make a recipe that calls for cooked chicken, the easiest way to cook it is to poach it. Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water (or chicken broth) to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. (1 pound raw chicken = about 2 1/2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken) Rate it Print Nutrition Facts (per serving) 149 Calories 3g Fat 18g Carbs 14g Protein Show Full Nutrition Label Hide Full Nutrition Label Nutrition Facts Servings Per Recipe 6 Serving Size generous 1 cup Calories 149 % Daily Value * Total Carbohydrate 18g 7% Dietary Fiber 1g 2% Total Sugars 1g Protein 14g 27% Total Fat 3g 3% Saturated Fat 1g 3% Cholesterol 20mg 7% Vitamin A 55IU 1% Vitamin C 3mg 4% Folate 64mcg 16% Sodium 857mg 37% Calcium 29mg 2% Iron 2mg 10% Magnesium 25mg 6% Potassium 392mg 8% Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate. * Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day.
