Combine 4 cups water and 1 tsp salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken breasts, reduce the heat to medium-low, and poach at a gentle simmer for 12ā15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165Ā°F (74Ā°C). Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred or slice thinly against the grain.
