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.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces. Discard the poaching liquid and bay leaf.
