I poached two chicken breast in an aromatic chicken broth tonight. I was happy with it, but I felt that it needed to be more salt.
Do you recommend brining before poaching, or should I increase the salt within the poaching liquid.

If you've got the time, go with a brine. You'll get significantly deeper penetration with moister, more tender results. The salt will also help carry the aromatics.
