Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Jalapeno Chile Pepper

	Jalapeno chile peppers are considered hot for most people. Remove the seeds and inner membranes from the pepper to reduce the heat level. For more heat, leave the seeds and membranes intact when you mince, add more chile pepper to the recipe, or consider serrano chile pepper

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Poblano Pepper

	The green poblano chile is a mild chile pepper by Scoville Scale standards. The pepper ranks just above pepperoncini and banana peppers in terms of heat. The red poblano, which is a riper chile than the green poblano, can be significantly hotter.
