Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Cooking Chicken to Proper Temperature

	Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F to ensure it is properly cooked. A meat thermometer will do the trick. Insert thermometer in thickest part of largest piece of chicken. Never serve chicken to anyone that has not been thoroughly cooked. When chicken is done cooking the juices will run clear.

Salsa

	Medium or hot salsa can be purchased or made at home using tomatoes, onion, and fresh jalapeno or serrano chilies. Salsa recipes vary in the amount of chile pepper added to create more or less heat in the salsa
