Now add the chicken breasts to the pot. Place a lid on the pot and bring the soup up to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the soup to simmer for ⏱️ 45 minutes. Make sure the soup is just at a steady simmer at this point, as this will help to create tender chicken breast meat.
