What a wonderful way to cook chicken. It was so easy and used very little energy to make. I was making a soup recipe that required cooked chicken and this turned out so moist. Top marks - I could easily use the chicken for a salad or sandwiches.

i used boneless skinless breasts for this, probably about 6-7lbs of it. the water stopped boiling after putting in the 1st 2 pieces so i just chucked them all in and turned off the burner after about 5 minutes. set my timer for 1hour and the chicken turned out a little dry. i'm sure that has to do w/ the cut of chicken i used so i'll likely try this method again. i ended up reducing the broth and i chopped up all the chicken and added a little of the leftover reduced broth and let it soak for a bit to moisten it up a little. so far i've used it for chicken salad and quesadillas and plan to make some calzones for my DDs lunch w/ the rest. it this method is very handy for cooking up large amounts of chicken for using in other dishes and i'll likely make it like this again.

I am amazed this worked, but it did make the moistest, juiciest chicken I have ever tasted. I didnt want alot, incase I messed it up so I did one boneless skinless breast. I used the broth after it had finished to make cream soup substitute #14860 and used the chicken in KFC potpie, #58905. It all turned out delicious. I already received a request to prepare all of our pre-cooked chicken this way.

I used this method to make chicken salad for 30 for a graduation party, and it was really wonderful. I received many compliments, especially from my soon-to-be mother-in-law and sister-in-law. I always keep cooked chicken breasts on hand in the freezer for quick meal preparation, and this is now the only method I use to cook them. I will never subject myself to another dry chicken breast!
