    Cut a slit and bake it with kale, spinach, a little feta cheese and tomato inside it. Stuffed chicken!

    I think it would depend on how you are preparing the chicken. You could shred the chicken and add it to a pasta sauce, or chop it and stir fry it with a variety of veggies. Green beans are a good side for baked chicken that children usually like. Mashed cauliflower or a mix of potatoes and cauliflower would be great with baked or grilled chicken.

    oven roasted brussel sprouts are yummy. just coat with a little olive oil, salt (kosher salt is best), pepper to taste, and roast on a cookie sheet for about 40 min at 400 degrees. Shake cookie sheet occ. during cooking to roll around the b.sprouts. They taste terriffic! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks! I am not a cook! LOL. I am taking over the cooking since I am committed to this, so it's a struggle to think of what to make. The chicken is skinless boneless

    Me too! In fact these are in my most used list. But I have noticed that they often are not popular with kids.

    everything goes w/ chicken. for a toddler, i would say go with veggies that are finger food too. steamed broccoli, green beans - but the long cut kind, so they eat like french fries - baby carrots are always good, steamed w/ some dill. cut up bell peppers and just lay them out. i would steer more towards the colorful veggies, toddlers will eat more if they're interested.

    Oven-roasted sweet potato - sprinkle a bit of salt/pepper, and drizzle just a bit of melted butter and honey. Or mash cooked sweet potato with cinnamon and a very small amount of honey, then sprinkle some crushed pecans on top.
