So you are soaking your chicken breasts in the water? If you do it that way you are suppose to put them in a seal-able plastic bag firstSqueeze all the air out and then put the bag of chicken in the bowlIf it will defrost it or not completely depends on the thickness of the breast, is it boneless or bone in? No need for the ice in the bowl either, just change the water after 30 minutesRunning water tends to tear apart the outside of the chicken as it thaws the soonestDon't thaw on counter, no one should ever suggest thatMeat you are searing such as a steak can be out to warm up for 15 to 20 minutes so you have even cooking, but not thawing especially not poultry.
You should put the chicken in hot water, it'll defrost faster
Running water would work better.
Even by cutting out triangles and bending, you will not have a smooth circleIt will be a polygon, many short straight segmentsA better way is to bend a ring 42.5 diameter out of 2 x 1/8th aluminum or steel and weld itThen do another that is 30.5 diameterNow cut two donuts with 42.5 diameter outside, and 6 inch widthThen weld the three pieces togetherThat will give you a smooth ringYou may not have to make full donuts, but you could use 2 inch wide straps running radiallyA dozen might be enough on each face.
