How To Boil Chicken Breasts
There are hundreds of recipes that call for How To Boil Chicken Breasts, which are simple to prepare and have on hand. Because it keeps the chicken juicy, shreds it in a matter of seconds, and adds more flavor than other ways, it's my favorite. I adore using soft, shredded chicken breast flesh in Mexican dishes, salads, soups, and casseroles.

INGREDIENTS
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoon salt
- water to cover the chicken
INSTRUCTIONS
- Put the chicken breasts in a saucepan big enough to accommodate them and the water, leaving at least an inch of room. Pour water over it. Put the salt in there. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer.
- After that, turn down the heat to medium and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the breast reaches 165°F.
- Before shredding or slicing the chicken for recipes, move it to a cutting board and let it cool somewhat.
- Chicken can be shredded, sliced, or chopped as needed. You can either put the chicken in the bowl of your stand mixer or shred it with two forks.
