Is it cheaper to....

I like chicken poached - quick, easy, moist, not much energy used and less fiddly than steaming. Also produces a bit of stock for veg soup.

How do you poach chicken please?

Call it boiled! Peeps tend to say poached in relation to fish or meat, don't know why.

Bexxie, they're usually just under a fiver I think. I doubt they'll be free range, even for that price though.

Asda have on their website at the moment, pork at £2 a kilo. Ideal for sandwiches during the week, if you like it. Pork and stuffing sandwiches......mmmmm.

Back to the chicken thing, I'd buy a whole chicken too. Not that it would last long. DS1 (alias frostbite because he's never out of the fridge.....14, say no more) has magnetic fingers when it comes to a cooked chicken. Can strip one to bare bones in seconds, I'd wager.
