Poached Chicken Breasts
By Yankee Magazine|Nov 26 2007|
4 cups shredded cooked chicken
Ingredients
2 whole bone-in chicken breasts (about 2 pounds) or 4 chicken breast halves, bone-in, skin on
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Rinse the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the chicken by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, lower heat so the liquid simmers, and cook 30 to 35 minutes or until just cooked through. The juices should run clear when the chicken is pierced with the tip of a sharp knife in the thickest part.
Remove the chicken from the water and cool until easy to handle. Remove the skin and discard. Pull the meat from the bones and shred into bite sized pieces.
