Place chicken (or chicken breasts) in a wide pot or pan. Cover about an inch of chicken with cold water. Season the water with salt, parsley, onion, shallots, garlic, peppercorns, and lemon slices.
Turn the heat to medium until it reaches a gentle simmer. Then, cover the pan and let the chicken simmer for 8-12 minutes. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
