Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Fresh Citrus

	Citrus can vary greatly in its bitterness depending on several variables, including freshness. Before using lemon or lime in any recipe, whenever possible taste the fresh juice to get an idea of how it tastes. Bitter juice can have a dramatic effect on the outcome of your recipe.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Roasting Pine Nuts

	To give your pine nuts a rich, roasted flavor, dark brown color, and crispy texture, toast them in a skillet on the stovetop. Add pine nuts to a dry skillet in single layer. Roast over medium low heat, shaking the skillet occasionally until toasted and browned. Watch them as they can burn easily.
