Quick from Scratch Chicken: And Other Birds

by Food & Wine Magazine

Go beyond boring baked boneless breasts! How does Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Mustard Sauce sound? Southwestern Tortilla Salad or Grilled Chicken with Spicy Brazilian Tomato and Coconut Sauce? Or, try a birdof a different Turkey Breast with Mustard Sage Crumbs, or Grilled Cornish Hens with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto. Plus, there are pastas, risottos, sautés, stir-frys, and lots of soup, salad, and sandwich ideas. A full half of the recipes use already-cooked chicken, so leftovers will never be a problem.

“Exceptionally clear recipes will enable you to create some flashy, restaurant-style dishes in your own kitchen.”— David Rosengarten

This book is exactly what it says it is: a cookbook full of chicken recipes.

There are short sections in the beginning and end about substitutions, pantry stables and basic cooking techniques, but the bulk of the book is recipes. Each recipes gets a full page, with big font and a full page picture opposite it.

I made the Chicken Goulash and found the meal came together beautifully and tasted great too.

We just got this book last Tuesday and we have already made 5 meals from it. We love it because they are simple, tasty, and most all the ingredients were already in our spice cupboard and fridge.
