Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
White Onion

	White onions, like yellow onions are also referred to as storage onions. Uncut, a white onion will last months when stored. Once cut the onion must be refrigerated and will begin breaking down within a week or two, and need to be replaced. White onions are one of the most popular onions and are available in most grocery stores for individual purchase or in small bags for bulk purchase.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Sour Cream

	Sour cream is found with other dairy products. The tanginess in the sour cream comes from the introduction of lactic acid to regular cream. The process naturally sours and thickens the cream. Sour cream is available in a number of size containers including half pound (8 ounces) and one pound (16 ounces), and varieties include regular, and light, and fat-free.
