Nutrition facts are only an estimate

- Cover chicken with water - covering it completely and going 2 inches higher than chicken
- Bring water to a boil, and turn it down to simmer
- Place the lid onto the pot or skillet
- Let the chicken simmer until cooked through - the chicken should be completely white with no pink
- Remove the chicken, and cube, and let cool
- Store for 3-5 days in the refrigerator
- Freezing is not recommended
