Chicken is delicious, healthy and economical—and extremely versatile.

You’ll learn how to prepare the perfect roast chicken and how to coax old-fashioned goodness from a classic braised chicken fricassee. For those who are short on time, and want to have a dish that is good for you as well as delicious, her boneless chicken breast cooked in a bag is sure to become one of your tried and true fall-back recipes.
