Instructions

1
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and the bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low simmer and cook for 14–16 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
2
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Discard the poaching liquid and bay leaf.
