Method
01.
Fill a large deep saucepan or a smaller pot with enough water to cover the chicken later, and add the lemon, parsley and pepper. Bring the water to the boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for two to three minutes.
02.
Place the chicken in the water so that it is completely submerged. Cook for eight minutes just below boiling point. Then take the saucepan off the heat and leave it to stand for fifteen minutes. Afterwards remove the meat from the pot and serve it warm, or store it in the fridge until you need it.
