Using hot water would work, but who wants a shitty poached chicken breast? Double shitty considering you are poaching it in tap water. Now if your tap produced a nice fumet, I would wholly suggest thawing all sorts of shit in there, but alas, it does not.
I second, third and fourth the cold water method. That Alton Brown guy even proved it with a rubber duck made of ice. Cold RUNNING water thaws fastest.
