Boiled Chicken

Does anybody here enjoy boiled chicken? I threw some boneless skinless breasts in some pretty well salted boiling water and really liked the finished product. I put some quick Asian style sauce on there and it came out great. Seems like a really quick and easy way to prep it and if you’re using a sauce I really recommend it.
 
Yeah, I have boiled chicken with rice and spicy oil at a lot of Chinese takeout places. Never thought of making it myself, but it does sound like a good idea.

Not long at all...I had thin boneless breasts and on high heat only took a couple minutes. I used a meat thermometer so once the thickest piece was at 165F I took them out and cut them up. Texture definitely reminded me of how it does at a Chinese foot restaurant. I know they usually velvet the chicken but this is a quick and easy way to get a very similar outcome.

I’m going to try that next, maybe boil then toss in hot oil wok for a minute just to see what the texture ends up being like.
 
Boiled chicken can very easily become the toughest, stringiest chicken if boiled even a minute too long. You can get mild flavor with heavily salted water.

Usually only use this method if I’m about to shred chicken for enchiladas etc or for chicken salad

Not sure I want to try anything from a Chinese foot restaurant.
 
I use a pressure cooker instead of the traditional method. I don’t add any seasoning until I remove it from the pressure cooker-
Add what you like, oil, hot sauce, whatever.
Taste good enough to eat .......
 
I personally boil mine for a good bit to get them done then throw them on the grill for flavor. Keeps me from burning them on the grill
