My mom makes this, it is absolutely ridiculous. You can eat it with salsa, throw it into a bowl of whole wheat pasta, mix it into couscous, shred it up and throw it in a salad, etc, etc, etcetera.
(And it's super healthy).
3 to 4 chicken breast halves,
___with bone and skin (about 3 pounds)
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
2 bay leaves
Pinch of dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14.5-ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
Arrange the chicken breast halves snugly in a large, deep saucepan or pot. Sprinkle on the onion, garlic, marjoram, oregano, bay leaves, thyme and salt. Add the can of chicken broth and enough water to just cover the chicken.
Bring the liquid to a boil on high heat. Partially cover and reduce the heat to low, so the liquid just simmers. (Make sure the liquid does not boil again.) Cook for 7 minutes, then cover the pot completely and remove from the heat. Let the chicken cool in the broth for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
At this point, the chicken and broth may be refrigerated until ready to use. Once cold, the fat will solidify on top and can be easily discarded. The chicken and broth will keep 2 to 3 days.
Or, you may use the chicken immediately. Remove it from the broth and shred into small pieces, discarding the bone and skin. Reserve the broth for moistening the chicken shreds or for another use. (Discard the bay leaves.)
