POACHED CHICKEN BREASTS 
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Paprika
Sliced almonds (optional)

Place chicken breasts in baking pan in single layer. Sprinkle liberally with paprika. Sprinkle on almonds. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. (A covered casserole dish may be used.) Put in 350 degree oven. They will poach in their own juices in 30 minutes. Test for doneness.

Other seasonings may be used. The secret is to have the tight cover so the juices do not evaporate in cooking.

I sometimes cook these on top of the stove in a heavy skillet, but then I add about 1/4 cup of water and keep heat low.
