Pour the 5 cups of chicken broth into a large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm throughout cooking — do not let it boil.

Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch wide, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque throughout with no pink at the center and an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F (74°C), about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
