Ingredients

2 servings
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6-7 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 slices onion
  • 1 sprig each of fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, and parsley)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • chicken broth

Steps

  1. Place chicken, herbs, peppercorn, garlic, onion and bay leaf in a shallow pan.

  2. Pour in enough broth to cover chicken about ½ way.

  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part of the breast.

  4. Remove the chicken from the broth and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting or slicing. Strain and reserve the broth for use in recipes or to serve with chicken.

  5. Slice, dice, or shred the chicken.
