Great Cookbook

This is a great cookbook. I have yet to find a bad recipe. Too bad it is out of print.

Low in Fat....High in Flavor!!

This is an OUTSTANDING book! I purchased it at school through a discount book service and I have made many of the recipes and have never been disappointed. The Spicy Rice with Chicken and Vegetables is one of my favorites. I use boneless breast meat instead of thighs and hot salsa instead of medium, so the fat is reduced and the heat is increased. With chicken as its staple, the book presents recipes in a wide variety of cooking genre: Asian, Cajun, Tex/Mex, Italian, French, Southern and even Hawaiian recipes are included. Whenever I'm looking for something new to serve, this book is one of the first cookbooks that I peruse, and I have over 500 cookbooks in my collection. The great thing is that you can serve these dishes to your family and friends with the knowledge that the food is lower in fat without sacrificing any flavor. Many people equate low fat with low flavor and Chicken Light debunks that with a treasure trove of delicious recipes. Here is hoping that Time/Life Books puts this wonderful collection into print once again. If you can get your hands on this book, DO IT!!

Best cook book there is

It's old (1998) but the best cookbook we have, by far. Yummy pictures set the stage, and straight forward receipies deliver the goods. Probably find it in a discount book store.

First really easy and innovative recipes this decade!

I collect cookbooks and figure if I get one or two good recipes from a new one then it's a success. THIS book has so many excellent and easy to make recipes that I'm overwhelmed. The photography is brilliant. This is real food, not "foo, foo" cooking. If you cook chicken a lot, you MUST have this book.

200 Recipes and you love them all!

Most chicken cookbooks in general and "light" recipes in particular have few recipes that I would actually prepare. This cookbook is the exception. It's one more interesting and delicious recipe after another. Further, they're recipes that our kids love too. Buy it! You'll love it.
