Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Wheat Pita Breads
Pita bread is a round “pocket bread” originating in Mediterranean cuisine. The pocket is created in the dough when steam helps to rise the dough during baking.
When the dough cools and flattens, a pocket remains. Pita bread can be made at home with pantry ingredients including flour, water, yeast, and salt.
Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Diced Apple
Apple is an excellent choice for use in chicken salads as it adds visual appeal, crunchy texture, and sweet and sour flavor. Choose a fresh specimen of your favorite eating apple for use in this recipe.
