Simple Boiled Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
  • 1 large onion, halved - unpeeled
  • 3 carrots, cut into chunks - unpeeled
  • 2 stalks celery, cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components.
2
Put the chicken in a substantial container with sliced onion, chopped carrots, diced celery, and whole peppercorns; fill the container with water to a depth of one inch.

Seal the container and initiate boiling; decrease heat to a low simmer and cook until the meat becomes tender and falls apart easily, approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Take the chicken out of the container and allow it to rest until cool enough to handle comfortably.

Shred or chop the cooked chicken into desired pieces.
