Directions

1. Place chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring just to a simmer over medium-low heat. Partially cover pan and cook 10 to 15 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
2. Remove pan from heat and let chicken breasts cool in liquid if you have time, or pat dry and use immediately. To keep chicken moist and juicy, cover with cooking liquid and store in refrigerator. Use within a day or two.
