Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken breasts in bottom of a small, heavy-bottomed pot. They should fit in a single layer, but fit quite snugly. Cover chicken with broth or water. Add herbs and bay leaf.

Bring to a boil, then quickly reduce heat to low so that the water is barely at a simmer. Partly cover and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat completely, and allow chicken to remain in hot water for 15 - 20 minutes.

Slice or shred chicken.
