Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Properly Cooked Chicken

	Properly cooked chicken is moist and tender. Undercooking chicken breasts results in meat being tough. Overcooking the chicken results in the meat losing moisture and the chicken being drier. If you cook chicken with the skin on, the chicken will stay moister. Simply remove the skin after cooking and discard if you will not be consuming it.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Soy Sauce

	Soy sauce is an integral part of traditional Asian cuisine and is a popular condiment throughout the world. Soy sauce can add great depth of flavor and is used to season vegetable, fish and meat dishes, marinades, sauces, and soups.
