I upped the amount of everything making 5 split breasts, in hopes of having one left over to top salads with tomorrow. No such luck...the kids ate every bit of it at lunch. A kid pleaser and simple to make equals a win, win recipe! Thank you for sharing Mandy, I will definitely be making this again. Maid and reviewed for the Make My Recipe Tag Game #14. -
Very good. I think for newbie's you may have wanted to add guesstimated poaching times....but mine turned out lightly flavored of lemon. I added 6 cloves of garlic and didn't get much of a garlic taste. Will add more next time. I liked the moistness of the poaching method. Will use again. -
*Reviewed during Australia NZ August 08 Recipe Swap* Great lemon packed flavour for moist and low-fat chicken. I poached three chicken breasts and they cooked up beautifully. Photo also being posted -
Loved it! Nice and lean, full of citrus flavor. Might add a bit more garlic too next time. I can't wait to try a sandwich with the leftovers tomorrow! Made for the ZWT4 for team TTT

I cooked 3 skinless breasts, got about 2/3rd's cup of juice from them, crushed 3 small cloves of garlic and quartered 1 lemon and used nearly 2 cups water. Poached for 6 minutes (timed form reaching simmering point) in uncovered frypan/skillet, turned off heat put lid on and left while I mashed potatoe and served up vegetables. Also instead of oregano I used fresh sprigs of lemon thyme. The lemon taste was just there and made for a delightful dinner for the DS, DM and myself. Made for Edition 4 - Make My Recipe - a game of tag.

Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
