Is there a reason why you couldn't leave the bone in the breast meat? I would just separate the legs and wings, then cut the carcass between the ribs to separate the back and the breast. I've done this on supermarket whole chickens ,but of course those have their organs removed. Would this method mess up the intestines, liver etc, that would spoil the meat?
ETA: my preferred way of preparing chicken is to cut it into legs, wings, breast and back and simmer that for about an hour. The meat is then very tender and soft and the broth makes excellent stock for a savory chicken soup. After the meat is done, I debone, cook veggies in the broth, puree (this step you could omit) and then add the meat back.So I'd like the bone in the breast meat.
