3 tb Olive oil
6 sl Lean bacon; chopped

1/2 c Quick Basil Mayonnaise; see * Note

INSTRUCTIONS

* Note: See the "Quick Basil Mayonnaise" recipe which is included in
this collection.
In a large saucepan or kettle (depending on the number of chicken
breasts to be poached) combine the chicken breasts with enough cold
water to cover them by 1 inch. Remove the chicken, bring the water to
a boil, and add salt to taste. Return the chicken to the pan and
poach it at a bare simmer for 17 minutes. Remove the pan from the
heat, let the chicken cool in the liquid for 30 minutes, and drain
it. Discard skin and bones and cut the meat into bite-size pieces
(you should have about 4 cups). In a bowl drizzle the bread cubes
with the oil, tossing them to coat them evenly, and season them with
salt. Spread the bread cubes in a jelly-roll pan, toast them in the
middle of a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until
they are golden, and let them cool. In a skillet cook the bacon over
the moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp and transfer it with a
slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. In a large bowl combine well
the chicken, the tomatoes, the scallions, two thirds of the bacon, the
mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste, divide the salad among 6
plates, and arrange the croutons around it. Garnish each serving with
some of the remaining bacon and a basil sprig. This recipe yields 6
servings.
