Boiling chicken breasts is often seen as a boring cooking method, but it is essential for dishes like chicken salad. Whether using boneless or bone-in breasts, it is important to cook them for the right amount of time to ensure they are fully cooked and tender. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts cook faster and are ready in 10 to 15 minutes, while bone-in breasts take up to 30 minutes. Using a kitchen thermometer or checking for no pinkness and clear liquid can also determine if the chicken is cooked.
