Boil water in a deep pot, and once you achieve a high bubble, add the chicken pieces: the leg, thigh, and breast. Add garlic and onion, cover, and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat. Uncover and remove the foam that forms using a skimmer or spoon; this foam is the soluble protein that comes from the meat. Cover again and cook for 10 more minutes. Once the chicken is about 80% cooked, add the vegetables, starting with the corn and carrot, which are the hardest. Cover and boil for 15 minutes.
