Notes

  • Quick Tip: If you want cooked chicken in a hurry, the easiest way to cook it is to poach it (one pound of raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts yields about 2 1/2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken).
  • Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a skillet or saucepan.
  • Add lightly salted water (or chicken broth) to cover and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle (approximately 10 to 15 minutes).
