Boiled chicken meat is an ingredient of many dishes, however, the question often arises how to cook the chicken deliciously so that the meat turns out to be soft enough and juicy, gentle, but that it can be beautifully cut into slices or cubes.
Let's start with the simplest version - we'll tell you how to cook a chicken in a saucepan. Half the case - choose the right chicken. Of course, the chicken should be young, with a pale yellow skin. If the skin is bright yellow, most likely the bird was simply painted, soaking the turmeric solution. If it is pinkish, the bird was wrongly killed and not drained from the carcass blood.
