For a richer flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the pot. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Don't discard the broth! It's packed with flavor and can be used as a base for soups, stews, or sauces. You can also freeze it for later use.
