Method

1.Bring stock and the water to the boil in a large saucepan; reduce to a simmer. Add chicken; cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove chicken from poaching liquid; shred with two forks. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the poaching liquid; discard remaining.
