Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 2 garlic cloves (smashed)
- 2-3 onion (slices)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh Rosemary
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 5-6 Cups chicken broth (enough to cover the chicken)
Instructions
- In a medium pot add the chicken, garlic, onion, bay leaf, rosemary and thyme, Pour in the chicken broth so it covers the chicken.
- Place the pot over medium heat and heat until the liquid comes to a low simmer. Make sure to heat this slow as this makes the chicken tender.
- When the pot comes to a simmer, turn the heat down to low and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Ensure the thickest part of the meat has reached a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Slice and serve garnished with thin slices of lemon, cracked fresh pepper and sprigs of parsley.
- Serve with your favorite vegetable dish or slice the chicken to top off a salad!
