Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Avocado

	Avocado fruit ripen after harvesting, so it is important to select the right avocado at the store. For immediate use, choose an avocado that when you give a squeeze, gives a little, but is not squishy. Squishy means over ripe. An avocado that is hard will need a few days to become ripe and right for eating and use in recipes.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Chipotle Powder

	Chipotle powder is produced from roasted jalapeno peppers. The hot peppers are slowly smoked over wood fire that imparts a brilliant smoky, spicy flavor into the peppers. The peppers are dried and crushed creating a spice that is used in authentic Mexican and Southwestern cuisines.
