Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Poaching Chicken
When poaching chicken, try using chicken broth or vegetable broth instead of just water. You can also add garlic, onion, herbs and spices for even greater flavor. While the chicken cooks it will soak up the flavors of the broth. So get creative with your combinations.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Freezing Chicken

For convenience when freezing chicken for a later date, wrap chicken in individual pieces of foil or freezer wrap and place in zip lock bags for freezing. The individual pieces will thaw faster and you can remove as few or as many as you like at any time. Always label chicken with the type of chicken and the date it was frozen.
