Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Cream Cheese

	Cream cheese is available in plain and flavored versions, and can be found with other dairy products at your local grocer. Cream cheese comes packaged on container and block form. The cheese is a soft, white, very mild product produced from enriched unskimmed milk. Cream cheese can be softened quickly in a few seconds in the microwave or in 20 minutes of resting on the kitchen counter top.

Green Onion

	Green onions have a small bulb and green leaves extending 6 to 8 inches out of the bulb. They are sold in bundles of half dozen to a dozen, depending on their size, and priced per bundle. Green onions are milder than most onions, considerably milder than white or yellow storage onions. Like red onions, green onions are delicious when eaten raw, having a bit of bite, but not overwhelming pungency. Green onions are also called by the name scallion or spring onion.
