If it's a boneless breast you can thaw it overnight in a pan of water in the refrigerator. If it's a bone-in breast figure on at least 2 days in the fridge, without the water. Hopefully it's in a package with directions.

General rule of thumb is 20 minutes per pound at 375 to cook.

You can put it in a pan of water with poultry seasoning and salt & pepper. Cover with a lid (no thawing required),bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cook like this for about 1to 1 1/2 hrs. When it is tender & juices are clear it is done.
