Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Olive Oil

	Regular olive oil has a lighter, less fruity, less olive taste than extra-virgin or virgin olive oil. Most supermarkets carry a wide variety of olive oils, but the best oils are not typically found in the big markets, they are found in specialty food stores.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Direct Grilling Method

	Direct grilling requires placing food items directly over the hot coals or gas flames to quickly cook foods. This is the preferred method for thinner foods like vegetables, fish filets, boneless chicken breasts, steaks, chops, and hamburgers. For larger thicker items like roasts, briskets, and tenderloins, the items are started over hot coals to sear, and then moved to an area not directly above high heat and cooked like in an oven.
