Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 10 ounces chicken broth (one 10 ounce can, mixed with water to cover both chicken breasts)
- 1 garlic clove, sliced in half (garlic lovers can use more)
- 2 teaspoons dried herbs (of choice)
- 1 bay leaf
How to Make
-
Step 1: Place the two chicken breasts into a small pot (they should fit into a single layer in the pot but not too snuggly).
-
Step 2: Pour the chicken broth over then water to cover the breasts about 1-1/2 to 2 inches.
-
Step 3: Add in the garlic, herbs and bay leaf.
-
Step 4: Bring to a boil the quickly reduce the heat to low so that the broth/water is only at a bare simmer (do not boil fast it will toughen the chicken).
-
Step 5: Simmer partially covered for 10 minutes (set your timer for 10 minutes).
-
Step 6: Turn off the heat and allow the chicken to sit in the broth/water for 15-20 minutes (15 minutes for regular-size breasts and 20 minutes for large breasts).
