10 cups water
2 pounds chicken breast
1 small white onion, quartered

Directions:
In a 6-quart caldero place chicken, onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil and then lower heat to medium-low for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
In a large bowl filled with hot water add dried chiles until the chiles have softened about 10 to 15 minutes. Discard liquid.
