Chicken Breast

Low-fat and mild in flavor. Tends to dry out when overcooked, so low-temperature cooking and slicing against the grain are common techniques to keep it tender.

• Choose plump cuts with a clear, firm pink color.

• Avoid pieces with red liquid (drip) pooling on the tray, which signals reduced freshness..

• Wrap individual portions in plastic and freeze if not using within 1-2 days.

• Refrigerated shelf life is short; blot any drip with paper towels..
