Method

Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; set aside.

Pour 6 cups water in a pot, cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

Remove boiling water from heat, set aside to let cool for 30 seconds, then drop in tea bags, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and halved shallot. Cover and set aside to let steep for 1 minute.

Remove tea bags, return to heat and add chicken; bring to a boil.

Remove from heat, cover and set aside to let chicken cook in the hot tea infusion off of the heat until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a plate; cover and keep warm.

Strain cooking liquid and reserve 1 cup; discard solids and remaining cooking liquid.

Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Add chopped shallots and lemon juice. Cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes, then add reserved 1 cup cooking liquid and bring to a boil. Cook until shallots are tender, about 2 minutes.

Season to taste, then remove from heat and stir in parsley.

To serve, slice chicken breasts and transfer to plates. Pour over the hot sauce and serve immediately.
