Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Black Beans

	Black beans are low in fat and cholesterol and high in protein and fiber. They are nutrient rich. While canned beans are convenient, dried beans are certainly a suitable substitute once soaked. If you are using the canned beans, pour the beans into a strainer and rinse under cold water. If you are using dried beans that have been rehydrated, follow the same procedure.

Diced Green Chilies

	Diced green chilies refers to small cans of green chilies that have been packed in a vinegar solution. A good brand will have bright green chilies, and the vinegar will not be overpowering. The chilies will have softened, but should still have a nice crunch. Depending on the chile pepper used in production of the product, the heat level will vary from can to can and manufacturer.
