Looking for a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies? Give my Lemon Chicken with Veggies a try.
It’s naturally sweet, and which kid (or adult) doesn’t love sweets? That’s because it’s loaded with sweet veggies like sweet potatoes and tomatoes.
You’re also adding broccoli, but since it’s roasted, it’s sweet as well.
You’ll also be adding savory chicken breasts to balance out all that sweetness. Bon appetit!
