This is a nice little cookbook with 27 recipes.  The ingredients are all easily obtainable and the instructions easy to follow.  I sent the link to my daughter, since she is often looking for quick-to-prepare, inexpensive yet healthy meals.Two minor quibbles - the recipes don't start on their own page, and the table of contents is at the end of the book. However, the cookbook is well-edited and I didn't catch any typos.  I would have liked to have seen photographs, particularly since this type of cookbook is well-suited to beginning cooks who often have no idea what a particular dish is supposed to look like.Many of the recipes use 'whole' food, which I appreciate.  The Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken and Dumplings, Velvet Chicken Soup, White Chili, Chicken Cacciatore, Homemade Chicken & Noodles, Hawaiian Chicken Salad, Southern Fried Chicken, Chicken Tortellini Soup, Chicken & Vegetable Bake, Lemon-Baked Chicken, Shrimp-Stuffed Chicken, Maple Roast Chicken & Veggies, Creamy Chicken a la King, Paprikash Chicken, and Hot Chicken Salad are all made pretty much from 'whole' foods, and for the most part look pretty healthy.  Some of the remaining recipes use items that I no longer cook with, such as condensed canned soups, commercial salad dressings, canned green beans (ick!), biscuits in a can, and so forth.  This may not be an issue for other cooks.
