I too like fresh. If you haven’t heard about the California slaughter house issue, you might want to take a gander at a less traumatic video series at a site called meatrix…it is a knock off on the matrix but explores the livestock food industry.

That is a reason to visit your butcher and pass on some of the pre-cooked variety too.

As for buying a precooked rotisserie chicken, I’m too cheap and would rather cook something myself to make sure that the food is handled properly and cooked thoroughly. I like to buy whole chickens from my butcher and I’ll use slices from that bird for these recipes sometimes, but I just don’t trust buying pre-cooked.

Neither of these two recipes take as long as cooking a whole bird, so they are pretty quick and easy to prepare if you already have the chicken breasts available.

And any reason to keep capers around is a good reason, in my book!

I love chicken. Blaine wraps up this month’s series on Fitness and Food with a couple of his favourite chicken recipes. Excuse me, I’m off to the kitchen…….
