The chicken should be covered with liquid by at least 1 inch. If not, add more water. Check the liquid after 2 minutes. A gentle simmer is desired , not a rolling boil or a still surface.
Cover the pan and simmer for 7 minutes. Turn the meat over and simmer for another 10 minutes. If cooking a lot of chicken in one an or if the chicken has bones, cook for an additional 10 minutes. Then turn the heat off and let the chicken rest in the hot liquid for 20 minutes.
