1. In a large saucepan add chicken breast, onion, chilli, garlic cloves, bay leaves, rosemary, parsley, salt and peppercorns. Add enough water to cover solids. 
2. Gently stir and bring to a boil. 
3. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat. Stand chicken in liquid for 5 minutes.
