How Long Do You Boil Chicken Breast For?
The cooking time for boiling chicken breast depends on the thickness of the meat. Generally, it takes about 15-20 minutes to fully cook a boneless, skinless chicken breast. The best way to ensure that the chicken is fully cooked is to use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast has reached 165°F (74°C). Once the chicken is fully cooked, it can be sliced or shredded and used in various recipes.
