Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Hot Sauce

	American hot sauce varieties are most often made with chile peppers, vinegar and salt. Some are aged to allow the sauce to ferment. Other ingredients including fruit and vegetable pulp are added for flavor, to thicken the sauces consistency and lessen the heat of the chile peppers.

Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

	Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese is produced from blocks of low moisture cheese. The semi-hard cheese is off white in color and available in most supermarkets. Packages of preshredded cheese are often available in addition. The low moisture block of cheese will last about a month in the refrigerator.
