So many new ways to make chicken

I love to cook, however, our food budget is not gourmet. We rarely buy steak and seafood or the like. There are a wide variety of flavors in this book that will invigorate our tired go to... chicken. The methods are simple, the ingredients are widely varied. How nice to jazz up a family favorite with things like lemongrass or wild mushrooms or fresh ginger. I've flagged over half the recipes as dishes we must make soon. I'm very glad to have found this book.
