Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Betty Crocker doesn't believe in waste, and that includes space. Just look inside the front cover of her Best Chicken Cookbook. There you'll find 10 "Fast and Easy" chicken dinner entrées and five "Quick Main Dish Chicken Salads." You start with four boneless, skinless chicken breasts that you then flatten, and 20 minutes later you serve something along the lines of Pesto Chicken, Pecan Maple Chicken, or Fajita Chicken. Or Oriental Chicken Salad. Or Raspberry Chicken Salad. Inside the back cover, you'll find eight Moist Poultry Secrets (wrap tightly during storage; don't undercook chicken--it's tough and rubbery) and a table of nutrition facts.

The seven chapters of Best Chicken Cookbook are "Super Express ... Thirty Minutes or Less"; "Stir-Fries and Skillet Meals"; "Baked and Roasted Chicken"; "Great Chicken Classics"; "Fire Up the Grill"; "Salads, Sandwiches, and Pizza"; and "Soups, Chilies, and Chowders." The "All About Chicken" section that introduces the book is just that: everything. Learn safe handling, boning, cutting up, flattening, the different types of chicken, stuffing, thermometers, etc. There are roasting timetables and microwave tables and tips on carving.

Every recipe is a textbook example of brevity. Betty Crocker believes in the sanctity of the 3 x 5 recipe card. Both prep and cooking times are listed, as well as the number of servings you can expect. The nutrition breakdown for a single serving completes each recipe so you know exactly what the calories and the fat numbers are like. And every recipe is faced by a full-page color photo of what the finished dish looks like.

Anyone--good cook and new cook alike--can pick up a copy of Betty Crocker's Best Chicken Cookbook and, with the right ingredients on hand, put a flavorful, nutritious meal on the table in a half-hour in most cases. This book will be a place to start for some cooks. More experienced cooks will find ways to trim time from their cooking chores. --Schuyler Ingle

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite cookbooks, April 22, 2004
By 
This review is from: Betty Crocker's Best Chicken Cookbook (Hardcover)
I love this book! There are so many wonderful recipes. I turn to this cookbook when I can't decide what to make for dinner. The pictures are great, and there's one for each recipe. None of the recipes are more than 1 page long, and each lists the prep time and cook time. There's even fast & easy chicken ideas on the inside cover. One of my favorite recipes is the Honey-Glazed Chicken Breasts - they're delicious and easy to make. I highly recommend it!

This review is from: Betty Crocker's Best Chicken Cookbook (Hardcover)
Now you can have chicken every single day. Every recipe you can think about is here. Plenty of pictures and detailed instructions. From salads to main dishes to side dishes... and what about left overs? you have sandwich recipes, and a lot more. Also includes quick meals (30 minutes or less), hamburger, pizza and soup recipes.
Besides you have the garantee that it is a Betty Crocker book, and all the recipes feature here had been tested over and over again. This is the book to have if you like chicken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Betty Crocker's Best Chicken Cookbook., November 25, 2001

"kingman-usa" (Kingman, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Betty Crocker's Best Chicken Cookbook (Hardcover)
Maybe there are diffrent issues on the market (with the same ISBN Number). I have the First Edition from 1999 but a diffrent cover as your picture are showing and 304 pages.
But I LOVE THE BOOK !!!! The recipes are easy to following, no fancy ingridients and for weeks you can make different dishes.
I also love there are a picture for each recipe (a lot of cookbooks have none or only a few)in MY Cookbook. So you can see how it's looke like.
I can only reccomend this book !!!!!!!
