Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place the chicken breast, onion, black peppercorns and salt into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over a medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the water, when done it should feel firm and the juices should run clear from the thickest part of the breast. Timing will vary depending on the thickness of each chicken breast.
