Ingredients
Method
Place chicken, stock and peppercorns in a deep frying pan or saucepan. Add enough cold water to fully cover the chicken. Cover. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover pan, then leave for 10 minutes. Uncover pan and let chicken cool in the poaching liquid. Remove chicken from pan and shred with a fork.
For the green goddess dressing, place all ingredients in a small blender. Season. Blend until smooth.
Cook peas in a small saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes or until bright green and tender. Drain well. Refresh under cold water.
