POACHED CHICKEN, CRUNCHY VEGETABLES, AND HERB DRESSING
I used to be put off poaching chicken as I feared it was more complicated than my simple fried version. But it's actually much easier, because while the chicken poaches you can prepare the rest of the food. These days I often poach 3 or 4 chicken breasts at a time, then keep them in the fridge so I can toss them into salads over the following days. Poaching really helps to keep the moisture in the meat, so the end result is much more enjoyable than dried, overcooked chicken.

Steps:
- For the dressing:
- Drain and rinse the almonds in fresh cold water, then pound them with the herbs, the garlic clove and a little salt. Slowly pour the olive oil into the mixture, stirring to combine.
- For the chicken:
- Put the chicken breasts into a pan of cold water with the reserved herb stalks (from the dressing), the garlic and the salt. Bring the water to a simmer, turn off the heat and immediately cover the pan. Allow the chicken to sit in the hot poaching liquor for 20 minutes, until cooked through.
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then cool under cold running water. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Preheat the broiler. Shave the fennel bulb with a mandolin or peeler into this slices and do the same with the carrot and zucchini. Add to the beans. Put the tomatoes on a non-stick baking sheet and under a preheated broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add to the bowl.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the poaching liquor. Thinly slice them and add to the bowl of vegetables. Toss together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken and vegetables between plates and serve with the herb dressing and lemon wedges.

MILK-POACHED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH YOUNG VEGETABLES
The light, herbal freshness that enlivened many of our grüner veltliners suggested a dish with a certain freshly picked delicacy, one that might satisfy on a soft summer evening. Not firing up the grill or the oven is an extra bonus.The idea is to poach chicken breasts gently in milk - "gently" is operative here - then serve them in a soup that has captured the flavors of vegetables. Baby carrots, potatoes, tiny onions and, for the wine, some peas (an ingredient we mentioned often during the tasting) make for a pretty plate. And, according to my granddaughters, ages 7 and 9, a delicious one, too.

Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place in sauté pan to hold them closely in single layer. Scatter with garlic. Add milk. Bring to a very gentle simmer and cook, turning a few times, 18 minutes. Never let milk boil at any time or it will curdle. Remove chicken to a platter, tent with foil.
- Add potatoes to milk in pan. Simmer gently 15 minutes. Add carrots. Simmer until potatoes are tender, another 15 minutes or so. Add onions and peas. Simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in crème fraîche. Season milk with salt and pepper as needed. Dish can be set aside up to 45 minutes, then reheated.
- Slice each chicken breast half across in three pieces, each about an inch wide. Return chicken to pan and bring to slow simmer just enough to reheat dish. Arrange chicken pieces and vegetables in 6 shallow soup plates. Ladle in milk sauce. Sprinkle chicken with fleur de sel and chives. Serve.
