Combine all herb poached chicken ingredients in a medium saucepan. Fill the saucepan with enough water to cover the chicken completely.
Bring saucepan to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and tender, 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your chicken breasts.
Remove chicken from poaching liquid and cool on a cutting board. Chop into bite-sized pieces, then proceed with the rest of the recipe. You can also make this chicken a day in advance, and cool the chicken in the refrigerator overnight before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
