Cooking Tips
🍗 Chicken
- Pat chicken dry before cooking for crispier skin.
- Let chicken rest 5-10 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
- Use a meat thermometer — 165°F (74°C) is the safe internal temperature.
Nutrition: High in protein, B vitamins, and selenium. A 3oz serving has about 26g protein.
Storage: Refrigerate raw chicken up to 2 days. Freeze for up to 9 months.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
