For quite a while, my son refused to eat chicken. I didn't push him on it -- before I adopted him he lived on a ranch where one of his chores was to take care of the chickens. I can totally respect his not wanting to eat chicken because of ethical reasons (though I don't think he realized that's what he was doing).

So you can imagine my surprise when, all of a sudden, my son started expressing an interest in eating chicken again. Now it's one of his favorite meals. It makes things easier for me as many of my easy and healthful recipes revolve around chicken.

So, while I was relieved to be able to cook it again, I'm already starting to feel like I'm in a rut. I needed to add some new recipes to my chicken repertoire. Here comes Cooking Light to the rescue -- they have 20 tasty and healthful chicken recipes to try. Next up on my family's dinner plate? Peanut-Crusted Chicken with Pineapple Salsa.
