Myfavorite go-to chicken recipe uses puree'd veggies as it's base. It's called Cody Chicken (named after my sister's ex, who could eat a whole pan!) Cut up 1 pound or so of boneless skinless chicken breast, or 1/2 breast 1/2 thighs (this is my preference) into even-sixed pieces. Cook until browned on the outside. Remove from pan. Put 1/2 a diced onion in pan and cook until clear. Now, take a bag of frozen mixed veggies (I use pea/carrot/bean/corn mix) and puree with 1/2 a jar of spaghetti sauce. (I use Newman's roasted garlic) Toss in a handful of fresh spinach, kale or other greens if wanted. Pour pureed veggies into skillet with onions, add rest of sauce and chicken back to pan. Stir and let simmer until the sauce is reduced and thick around the chicken. I add a "glug" or two of balsamic vinegar or worsestishire (spelling?) sauce right before serving. Serve over rice or noodles with a green salad. Your kids will be eating several servings of veggies wighout being able to "pick-em-out"! If you serve it with spaghetti noodles, treat it like a regular marinara. It's really good.
