boiled chicken

Plain cooked bird

Boiled chicken is chicken cooked by simmering in water or broth until done.

The method produces tender, moist meat useful for shredding into soups, salads, or sandwiches.

The cooking liquid becomes a flavorful stock.

Figuratively, something as exciting as boiled chicken is bland or uninspiring: The presentation was fine but a little boiled chicken.
