One day, your kid loves broccoli, and the next, the child decides broccoli is the worst food ever. If you are having challenges getting your kids to eat their meals, you can try chicken dinners.
Easy and fast to cook, chicken is a foolproof meat option when it comes to cooking for the kids. Why? Because this white meat is tender enough to chew and doesn't come with any strong taste and texture as compared to red meat.
And since it doesn't have a strong taste, you can easily cook it with any sauce, and pair it with rice, pasta and noodles, on its own or with a salad. Chicken is also a great source of protein. (If you like chicken breasts, check out the recipes here.)
