Place the chicken breasts in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part on an instant-read thermometer, about 15–18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 5 minutes, then shred or cut into bite-sized pieces.
