Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Sweetened Flaked Coconut

	Sweetened flaked coconut is white coconut flesh that has been dried and sweetened. The sweetened flakes are packaged in plastic bags and sold in supermarkets, alongside products used for creating baked goods. Store the coconut in an airtight container in the pantry, or another, cool, dry location and it will keep well for months.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Garlic Powder

	Garlic powder is produced from garlic cloves that have been dehydrated and ground into a powder. Look for a high quality brand and check the label to ensure that it is pure garlic with no additional ingredients. Garlic powder is found with other jarred spices and will keep for months in the pantry.
