Chicken can often be really bland. It can be boring to keep eating the same after-school snacks day after day. My mom constantly made chicken recipes that consisted of meat, and Italian dressing. That was it! Just thinking about eating this bland and boring dish is upsetting my taste buds.
Sometimes she would include roasted carrots, but this vegetable would be smothered with Italian dressing also, which just messed up this vegetable for me! There are so many other recipes with chicken that are healthy and taste good. It does not have to be the same boring thing all the time.
Fresh herbs really spice up a dish, as well different sauces and marinades. There are so many out there, I dont know how my mother always got stuck on just one! To mention several sauce I prefer to use now with my children, there are sauces made with white wine, butter cream, pesto ad teriyaki also. You can also really brighten up recipes for chicken with the side dishe’s you chose to use. Add some vegetables with cheese, or cilantro lime rice.
You can make a pasta sauce with ground chicken or tacos with ground chicken as well. One of the greatest things about chicken recipes is that they are extremely versatile, and healthier than other meat products. Chicken is one of the leanest meats out there, which makes it a great meal choice for your kids. Just make sure to mix it up, or they will get bored of the meat in general. Sometimes, they wont even know they are eating recipes with chicken in them if you mix it in a stew or a soup. Chicken chili and fresh chicken salad are other ways to get protein into your diet in a delicious and healthy way!
In preparation for future meals, think about the versatility of the meat you use. There are so many delicious ways to prepare it such as baking, frying, poaching or roaching and endless others that the variety will make it impossible to ever tire of it.
