Step 1

Put the chicken in a skillet large enough to hold it in a single layer.

Step 2

Add the water and sprinkle the salt on top. (If the water doesn’t cover the chicken, add more until it does.) Add the peppercorns, garlic, and parsley, if using.

Step 3

Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 4

Maintain a gentle simmer for 3 minutes.

Step 5

Turn the breasts over, then cover the skillet and remove it from the heat.

Step 6

Let the chicken sit in the hot water until the internal temperature is 150°F, about 12 minutes. (The time will vary depending on the size of the breasts.)

Step 7

Take the chicken out of the water and let it rest at least 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
