Do you like Indian food? You can make the roast chicken and then some spiced spinach with chickpeas.

I totally understand.. my son won't touch any vegetables still, very frustrating!

I'm assuming from your post it's a whole chicken? If that's the case, I would roast it with some lemon, herbs and olive oil. Then for the spinach.. hmm, that's a tough one. I'm assuming they won't eat it sauteed with olive oil and garlic? Maybe you can steam it and then for them make a cheesy sauce?

A standby in my house is chicken breasts stuffed with steamed spinach and laughing cow. And no.. my son won't touch that either, lol!

I saute fresh spinach with fresh sliced garlic in a little olive oil ( 1 or 2 tbsp) until wilted. It is delicious and my kids always loved it. Just saute your garlic for a minute first, then add your spincah and toss in a little salt and cook just a few minutes
