Put the chicken in the pot of water, turn on the stove and cook it. If it's not pink or bleeding, it's done. Pull the skin off the chicken breasts, put in pot with water (don't add salt right away as it will toughen the meat) but herbs can be added if you like and cook for approx. 1 hour on medium heat. It's done when you take a fork and pull a little of the meat back and it's not pink. == Start with your chicken in cold water. Some proteins are more soluble in cold water. Bring it to a boil, put on a lid and simmer it 'til done. A bouquet garni may be put in the cold water with the bird, but that depends on how you see your end product.

  • Clean the chicken breast properly with water.
  • Put a large pan with water and a pinch of salt on boil.
  • When the water has boiled, put the chicken breast in and bring them to the boil.
  • To see if the chicken breast is boiled, you can poke it and see if it slides off easily, or you can take it out and cut it in half to check if the middles is still raw or not. If it is raw, or does not come off the knife / skewer easily, let boil for a few more minutes.
  • Your chicken is boiled and ready to use.

Hope it helps. :)
