White Sauce
3/4 cup Good mayonnaise
1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Liquid smoke; may seem weird if you aren't familiar but it is actually all natural and delicious.
Dash Cayenne
Salt and lots of pepper to taste
Poached Chicken and Salad
3 cups Apple cider
3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Good mustard
1/4 cup Liquid smoke
3 tablespoons Sweet tomato-based BBQ sauce
2 teaspoons Cayenne
Salt and pepper
4 Skinless chicken thighs; could use any cut of chicken if preferred
5 Strips of smoky bacon, 2 kept whole and 3 diced
1 Large apple, peel left on and diced
2-3 Green onions, sliced thinly along the bias
2 cups Salad greens, I used a spinach and arugula mix

1
Whisk all ingredients together and store in the fridge.
2
Combine all ingredients from apple cider to cayenne in a medium pot. Mix thoroughly. Taste, then salt and pepper until balanced. Place the chicken and 2 whole strips of bacon in the pot. If you're using a different part of the chicken and it is not covered, add more cider until it is covered. Bring to just below a simmer. Cook until chicken is done, can't recommend a thermometer enough for this.
3
Meanwhile, prep your diced bacon, apples, and green onions. When the chicken is about halfway done, start frying the bacon in a nonstick skillet. Once golden brown and crispy, turn off the heat, leaving the skillet in the same place and mix the apples in, coating them in bacony deliciousness. Add just a pinch of salt and plenty of pepper.
4
Once the chicken is done, prepare your plates. Lay down about a 1/2 cup of greens per serving, and spoon the bacon and apples over the greens. Don't be afraid of the drippings. Place a piece of chicken on top, and generously drizzle the white sauce over the salad and the chicken. Top with plenty of green onions, and enjoy.
