Easy Cheesy Chili Chicken from Eating Stella Style: Low-Carb Recipes for Healthy Living

My husband enjoyed this a lot. It was easy enough for a weeknight, but I will have to tweak the seasonings some, as it was just a bit too salty for my tastes. read more >

The Big Book of Chicken: (Chronicle Books))

By Maryana Vollstedt
Chronicle Books - 2008

August 7th, 2011 (edited 26th March 2012)

We cook chicken more than any other meat, two or three times a week, and I always have leftover grilled or roasted chicken in the refrigerator for lunchtime salads and sandwiches. I bought this book as a source of fresh ideas for making chicken different and exciting, since we eat it so much. In that regard, it has been a success. The recipes are pretty simple, and there is some repetition, but mostly they are reliable, easy and good. Which makes this a great cookbook for weeknight cooking.
