Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

3 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds), halved
2 1/2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
2 1/2 cups assorted sprouted beans (about 6 ounces)
1 cup chopped celery
3 scallions, sliced thin

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a 6-quart kettle bring broth and water to a boil. Add chicken and simmer, covered, 9 minutes. Remove kettle from heat and let chicken stand in cooking liquid, covered, until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Chicken may be poached 1 day ahead, cooled completely, uncovered, in cooking liquid, and chilled, covered. Bring chicken to room temperature to continue. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in oil and mayonnaise in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Add chicken and remaining ingredients and toss until combined well.
