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 low and simmer, partially covered, for 15–18 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part.
