Soup Making Tips -
Fresh Chicken Breasts

	For moist meat, use only fresh chicken breasts that have not been frozen since the thawing process will cause a loss of moisture. Fresh chicken breasts should be kept tightly wrapped in the refrigerator to prevent them from drying out. Cook the chicken with the skin on to keep the moisture in, but remove the skin before serving to decrease fat and caloric intake.
