I know normally I can boil or grill breasts and they are fine, but even boiled it is like leather. I've never run across chicken like this... It has me so confuzzled :?

I cook chicken probably 4 times a week and since adopting their method of low heat, my chicken is tender and juicy.I generally saute chicken, and sometimes simmer (never boil) for some recipes.
A very very elderly chicken can be tough as cement...
