Instructions
- 1
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add the salt and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer.

Poach the chicken, partially covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C), about 15–18 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and discard the poaching liquid and bay leaf. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
