Poached Chicken Pot au Feu
This is one of our founder's favorite dishes. In her words, "My friends call this 'miracle chicken!' It's one of my favorite things to eat when I feel tired or run down. It was a lifesaver during chemo. It is nourishing, low-fat, and amazingly tasty. "The trick is to poach the chicken slowly. I use chicken on the bone for extra flavor, but you can use boneless for less mess. If you don't like rice, you can substitute 3-4 small, halved, waxy potatoes instead and add them along with the root vegetables. If leeks aren't available, substitute two small celery branches cut into sticks."
