Chicken Dinners 1, 2, 3: 125,000 Possible Combinations for Dinner Tonight (The 1, 2, 3 Dinners)

By Jacqueline Hériteau

Book Overview

How many times have you been shocked to realize that it's five o'clock (already) and you haven't even begun to think about what you're going to make for dinner (again)? Just deciding what to cook can be pretty daunting, and the idea of being creative... well, not tonight. But Chicken Dinners 1, 2, 3 will turn this nigh fly chore into something fun. Just flip through the recipe cards to mix and match the dishes until you come up with the perfect meal, all on one page. The cards are divided into three groups: Chicken Dishes, Vegetable Dishes, and Starch Dishes. Put together a quick weekday dinner such as Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Fresh Tomato Sauce, Spinach Bake, and Golden Roasted Parmesan Potatoes, or make an exotic dinner for friends such as Curried Chicken with Mango Chutney, Cucumber Raita, and Jeweled Jasmine Rice. Whatever you choose, Chicken Dinners 1, 2, 3 is the perfect kitchen companion, helping you get a different great meal on the table night after night quickly and easily. The recipes are all very simple and require minimal preparation time. The introduction and recipe headnotes provide valuable information such as do-ahead tips, storage directions, ingredient descriptions, and advice on creating low-fat meals. And, on those nights when you don't want to think at all, each recipe has suggestions for other dishes in the book that work well with this particular recipe, so you can put a menu together in just seconds. However you use this book, planning a meal has never been so much fun!

More really is more...

The 125,000 combinations of dinner courses cited in the book blurb doesn't do justice to the many really interesting and tasty recipies included. I saw many recipies that I can't wait to try, and I have done a lot of cooking, especially with chicken. Recently I did the Baked Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon that I will be cooking for friends in Italy later this summer. Excellent results. The book's format is interesting also. Each page is physically divided (actually cut) into horizontal thirds: the top third for chicken main courses, middle third for veggies, and the bottom third for the starch. Just turn to the desired page for each part of dinner and each recipe will be displayed at once. You could cook an entire dinner without having to turn a page! I used this book for the first time recently and I had to buy it. I'll probably get a copy or two for presents also.
