Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 4 (6 ounces each) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoons ground pepper
  • 4 lemon slices
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instruction

  • Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of a large saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Top with lemon slices and fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs.
  • Fill the saucepan with cold water until it reaches 1 to 1 ½ inches above the chicken breasts. Stir in the soy sauce.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to low.
  • Lightly simmer until the chicken breasts are just cooked through, about 15 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  • Remove the chicken from the saucepan and let the chicken cool. Slice or shred the chicken. Serve right away or refrigerate, covered, for 2 to 3 days.
