Instructions
Making From Scratch
- Boil just enough water to cover the chicken/turkey breast in a pot. Add the chicken/turkey and cook for 5 mins(10mins for turkey) then turn the heat off and let it sit in the pot for 40 mins. This makes the meat super tender

to the pan, the oil may splatter - Cook on high to slightly reduce the sauce
