Saute the onion and garlic in the butter, then add the white wine and water and bring to a boil. Poach the chicken breasts in water and white wine. Cool overnight.

Shred the chicken off the bone with two forks then chop the resulting shreds finely. Peel and chop the shallots finely and toss with the chicken.
