Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Cooking Temperature

	For bone-in chicken, to get an accurate temperature reading, make sure that when you probe the chicken with a cooking thermometer, you avoid touching the bone. For chicken that is cooked through, the temperature reading should be at least 165 degrees.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Stir-Frying

	You can stir-fry in a skillet, a Dutch oven or a wok. The best cooking results require a very hot cooking surface, a high smoke point cooking oil, bite-size pre-cut ingredients and cooking in batches.
