Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Moisture Loss in Chicken

	Moisture loss in chicken results in dry chicken and less tender results. Avoid freezing chicken whenever possible to avoid moisture loss during thawing. When storing chicken in the refrigerator, keep it properly wrapped to avoid the chicken drying out. Cook chicken with the skin on, trapping in moisture. When the chicken has finished cooking the skin can be removed easily and discarded, if desired.

Corn Tortillas

	To craft perfectly shaped tortillas very quickly, you can use a tortilla press. The metal or wood presses can be found in most specialty cooking shops. The presses are an excellent tool to create similar shape tortillas very efficiently. Alternately you can mix the tortilla dough and pat them into rounds by hand.
