Flavoring the water correctly is key when it comes to boiling chicken
Flavoring the water correctly is key when it comes to boiling chicken. Our recipe includes basic flavours from carrots, peppercorns, onions, and bay leaves, but feel free to get creative with your favourite vegetables and spices! Other things that work well with chicken include allspice and coriander. If the chicken is part of a more substantial meal, then you may decide to adjust the flavours in the water to suit your meal. For example, if the chicken is part of a stir-fry, try replacing the salt with soy sauce and the peppercorns with red pepper flakes. You could also add some ginger to the water to give it an extra kick! The flavours in the pot will infuse into the meat and flavour it, making it juicier and more flavorful than other methods of cooking. This method is particularly important when cooking chicken breast since it’s often dry and extremely mild meat that benefits from additional liquid and seasoning.

Step 1: Find A Large Saucepan That Is Capable Of Holding 4l Of Liquid
Step 2: Add Onion And Carrot To The Water
Slice onion first to allow the flavour to seep into the water, and make sure the carrot is peeled and cut in half before adding it. You don’t need to slice them finely since you’ll discard them when they’re done. They’re just in the water to flavor the meat.

Step 3: Add Black Peppercorns
They don’t have to be ground; it’s fine to add them as is since the flavour will boil into the water. The same goes for the bay leaves; you can add them whole. If you’re adding more spices, you could consider a bouquet garni or put your spices in a bag, so there is less cleanup involved later.

Step 4: Bring Water To A Boil
The flavours from the peppercorns, bay leaves, and vegetables will begin to infuse into the water once it reaches a boiling point. When it does, you can take it off the heat to add the chicken.

Step 5: Uncover And Add Chicken And Salt
It’s a good idea to add the chicken to boiling water rather than to lukewarm water so that it cooks evenly and quickly, and you’re able to have a more accurate sense of the cooking time. Although 1 tbsp of salt may seem like a lot, it will make the water just salty enough to flavour the chicken.

Step 6: Cover, Return To Heat And Boil Again For 5 minutes
Then leave in broth covered for 30 minutes. This will allow the chicken to finish cooking and absorbing the flavours of the additional ingredients in the water.

Step 7: Take The Chicken Out With A Fork And Turn Out Onto A Plate.
When you cut it, it should be uniform in appearance all the way through with no pink spots. After it has done boiling, you can eat it as is, shred it, or use another method to add texture and flavour to the outside, such as grilling, frying, or broiling.
