One of the best parts of writing a book is working with so many talented and friendly people. I’d like to thank them all for their enthusiastic support.
My biggest thank-you goes to my husband, Harold, who supported me, helped me test every recipe, and spent hours helping me edit every word. His constant encouragement of all of my work has made this book a partnership.
Thank you to Abe Ogden, director of book publishing at the American Diabetes Association, for his guidance and support. He worked closely with me to bring this book to life.
Thank you to Joseph Cooper and Bonnie Berman, hosts of Topical Currents, and to the staff at WLRN National Public Radio for their help and enthusiasm for my weekly “Food News and Views” segment.
I’d also like to thank my family, who have supported my projects and encouraged me every step of the way: my son James, his wife, Patty, and their children, Zachary, Jacob, and Haley; my son John, his wife, Jill, and their children, Jeffrey and Joanna; my son Charles, his wife, Lori, and their sons, Daniel and Matthew; and my sister, Roberta, and her husband, Robert.
And, finally, thank you to all of my readers and listeners who have written and called over the years. You have helped to shape my ideas and have made the solitary task of writing a two-way street.
Throughout history, chicken dishes have been a symbol of comfort and well-being. Henry IV, the king of France, wanted no peasant to be without a chicken in his pot every Sunday. Herbert Hoover’s 1928 party slogan was “a chicken in every pot.” Today, as then, chicken is a staple of hearty, healthy meals.
Grilled, sautéed, roasted, or poached—chicken is a great palette to paint a meal on. From All-American to Asian, African, Latin American, or Mediterranean dishes, chicken is the perfect meat to carry these flavors. You’ll find a wide range of dishes to fit your every mood in this book. The recipes are quick, easy, and family-friendly.
Feeling like American comfort food? Try the Sangria-Braised Pulled Chicken Sliders or the Pecan-Crusted, Honey-Glazed Chicken. Enjoy a hint of India with Curry-Kissed Chicken or a Chinese dinner with Kung Pao Chicken. Or savor the flavors of North Africa with Moroccan Spiced Chicken. Looking for a soup supper? The Garlic-Chicken Soup with Sesame-Parmesan Crostini might fit the bill. And for those times when you want a quick sandwich meal, make the Barbecued-Chicken Roll
