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