Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces. Spread on the cutting board and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
