Fill your pot with enough water to submerge the chicken.
Add a generous amount of salt and mix it well.
Bring the salted water to a boil.
Once rapidly boiling, put the chicken in the water, cover it tightly, and turn off the heat.
Let chicken poach for 30 minutes.
Afterwards, remove chicken from the water and check the internal temperature at the thickest part of the chicken; it should read around 160-165F.
Let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing or shredding.
