Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Seal the Pie Crust

	Seal your pie crust and prevent a soggy crust when it is filled by brushing egg white on the pie crust surface. The egg white will seal the crust and where the crust is exposed along the edges, it will have a beautiful, glossy finish. Simply beat an egg white in a small bowl with a fork and use a pastry brush to apply liberally to the crust. Allow to dry.

Poaching Chicken

	When poaching chicken you can add a lot of extra flavor by adding fresh or dried herbs, and minced vegetables to the cooking liquid. Try herbs such as tarragon, dill, thyme, sage, and rosemary. Try mincing some fresh garlic, onion or ginger and add to it the liquid.
