Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts. Halve the lemon, slice one half into rounds and place them in a wide pot. Add the white wine and about 400 ml water, bring to a boil. Remove from heat and submerge the chicken breasts so they are covered by liquid. Cover and poach over low heat for 15–20 minutes. Take out and let cool.
