Answers:
Once your water comes or returns to a boil, let it boil for about 20 minutes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Bring it to the boil, reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes!.
If you over cook them they will not moist and will be stringy!.
After about 10 minutes used food tongs to squeeze them to see if the juices run clear!.
Do not cut or pierce them as it will let all of the juices escape!.
Allow a few minutes to rest and cool before shredding or cutting for your salad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Boil it until the meat is no longer pink!. Drain, cool!. If you cook til no longer pink, it will be tender, boil too long it will be tough!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
