How to Make Chicken With Chapatti & Sausage Stuffing

Series Summary

Because of its relatively muted flavor, chicken is one of the most versatile meats in the world, allowing the professional chef, line cook or kitchen gourmand to add it to just about any dish with a safe assurance that it will impart its protein-filled goodness and soft, chewy texture, while absorbing the flavors that surround it. Of the most common meats consumed, chicken might be considered the “jack of all trades.”

Chicken is such a popular meat to eat for a few reasons. Chickens are relatively easy to raise in large numbers, avian flu aside. Chicken meat can be separated, packaged and shipped, or chickens can be plucked and shipped whole. Chicken is good for sandwiches, salads, pasta dishes, as a main course; it can be shredded, sliced, fried, served oven-roasted, rotisserie-style—the possibilities are too numerous to list here.
