In a quest to find cheaper, healthier alternatives, I've been trying to find new dishes to cook for my family.
In addition to being kinder to my wallet and better for my health, they also had be simple, quick and, most importantly, they had to be recipes my children would actually eat!
Our greatest success has come from baked chicken recipes.
You may wonder why such an old concept as baked chicken is so popular with my family?
1. These recipes for baked chicken use all natural ingredients, so they are healthy and nutritious.
The cooking process is healthier, avoiding the use of oil or fat for frying and the chicken itself is packed with nutrition.
Because chicken is so versatile, it's encouraged us to experiment with different ingredients and the variety of vegetables and pulses we eat has increased as a result.
2. Baked chicken recipes are quick and easy.
They are quick to prepare, which is exactly what I need as a working parent spending long days at the office on top of long hours commuting. All the ingredients for a dish are baked at the same time in one pot, they are tossed in together in a matter of a few minutes and then baked into a delicious and healthy dinner.
It may seem lazy, but it's really a huge time-saver that allows me more time with my children.
3. The recipes for baked chicken are delicious and versatile.
We have an extremely picky eater in our youngest daughter, so we take care to try to prepare meals that will please her. We don't want to start the habit of preparing separate meals for every person in the family. It's very important to us for the family to all eat the same meal together.
This problem can be solved with baked chicken recipes as such a variety of ingredients and flavors can be used, it's possible to please all the people all of the time.
4. Baked chicken recipes are also incredibly easy to make.
You don't have to be a master chef to follow a baked chicken recipe. Even I find them easy!
It's not only the 'one pot' cooking approach that helps but it's easy to find chicken already prepared when buying it, so there's no need to spend time dicing or slicing, it's already done for you.
It uses all very basic steps and ingredients, nothing fancy or complex. Just simple, fast, nutritious and delicious dinners.
5. Baked chicken dishes are inexpensive.
Trying to feed a family is not easy at the moment with food and fuel costs increasing.
Like most people, we are trying to stay on a budget, and a major part of our budget is groceries. Baked chicken recipes can be prepared for a fraction of what would be spent on a convenience meal.
6. Baked chicken recipes even please picky eaters.
We've been amazed to see our kids dig into all the baked chicken meals we've been having. Our eldest wants certain dishes over and over again, and is disappointed when we tell him we can't eat the same thing for dinner every night!
I would never have believed that the whole family could eat the same meal (that isn't take-away) and everyone enjoy it.
