Chicken, chicken, and more chicken. From appetizers to soups, from entrees to casseroles, this cookbook covers it all.  Simple, easy instructions and ingredients found in most pantries, “The Rotisserie Chicken Cookbook” gives recipes using that infamous, hot rotisserie chicken found in most grocery stores.  My only venture before was making soup from the carcass. 

The “Gingered Peach Chicken and Rice” is to die for! Using fresh peaches as well as ¼ cup preserves and, my favorite spice, ginger, gives a wonderful sweet and sour effect, with just a little zing from the red pepper flakes.  As suggested, serving it with jasmine rice was wonderful.  I can guarantee there will be no leftovers.

I also tried the “Grapefruit Chicken Salad.”  I never thought about combining grapefruit and chicken before and found it very appetizing. Of course, adding ¼ chopped fresh basil topped it off very nicely.  Served on a bed of spring greens and sprinkled with toasted almonds made this dish perfect for a light dinner.

“The Rotisserie Chicken Cookbook” is a keeper for sure!  Most of us are so busy we don’t have time to roast a chicken or let alone wait for it to cook on a rotisserie.  Michelle Ann Anderson solved our dilemma.
