Poached Chicken Breast

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 
2 bay leaves
4 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons dried 
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

In a large saucepan, combine broth, bay leaves, and thyme, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove any visible fat from chicken. Add chicken to broth, and continue to simmer for about 15 to 18 minutes, until meat is completely white. Remove pan from heat, and allow contents to cool. Remove chicken from poaching liquid and serve, or refrigerate and serve cold.
Makes 4 servings.
