Remove excess fat from raw chicken tenders. Sear both sides of each tender in a small amount of oil or butter. Stand seared tenders in a wide mouth quart jar leaving 1-inch headspace. Fill the jar 2/3 full with hot broth or water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, if desired. Wipe jar rims with a vinegar-soaked cloth or paper towel. Put on warm lids and canning rings and process in a pressure canner according to the charts below:
