Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan, cover with water.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce the heat to a simmer over low heat, and cover. NOTE: If you’re planning to use the broth later, remove the white foam forming at the top with a spoon.
Cook for 12-16 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken breasts). The chicken is ready when it reaches 165°F/74°C.
Remove the chicken from the broth, allow to rest for 10 minutes then shred, slice, or dice.
- If you cook the chicken for too long, you risk it becoming rubbery so keep an eye on it as you cook it.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: It’s easy to see if your chicken breasts are done using a digital meat thermometer. Make sure you cook the chicken until the thickest part reaches 165°F/74°C.
