Poached Chicken Breast with Kabocha Squash and Leeks

  Total Time

  20 minutes

  

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/2 pounds)

  Kosher salt

  4 large leeks (about 1 1/2 pounds), white and light green parts, cut into 4-inch segments

  1 head garlic, halved crosswise

  4 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth

  1/2 small kabocha squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into ½-inch wedges

  

Step 1

Season chicken breasts with salt. Combine breasts with leeks, garlic, and Swanson® Chicken Broth in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until breasts are cooked and leeks are very tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  

Step 2

Shingle squash over top of chicken and leek mixture, cover, and cook until squash is tender, about 10 minutes.

  

Step 3

Gently remove squash and leeks and divide evenly in shallow bowls. Slice the poached chicken breasts and serve with broth.
