Weight Watchers Ultimate Chicken Cookbook

August 1, 2013
Sooner or later, every weight-loss diet comes to rely on chicken as its go-to meat. Cheap, inoffensive, and ubiquitous, supermarket chicken offers the cook a blank culinary canvas to embellish in nearly limitless ways. Ever-popular chicken salads couple cold, diced breast with leafy greens and crunchy raw vegetables for textural appeal. Soup stocks yield similar pluses, but within a bowl of meat, vegetables, and steaming broth. Nondieting dinner guests won't feel deprived with this book's company fare such as chicken and ham cassoulet; chicken, shrimp, and kielbasa paella; or chicken shepherd's pie. To avoid monotony, the book appends a handful of turkey, duck, Cornish hen, and quail offerings. In addition to substantial and comprehensive nutritional breakdowns for every recipe, Weight Watchers members will find the organization's proprietary numerical index number to help more easily manage a day's calorie consumption and simultaneously ensure nutritionally balanced meals.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
