Convenience food is expensive and unhealthy, so I've begun searching for recipes that will be healthier, more enjoyable and budget-friendly.
It was important to me to look for recipes that are tasty enough to please the children, not too time consuming to make, don't cost a fortune and that are good for you!
Our greatest success has come from baked chicken recipes.
Here are the reasons that baked chicken recipes tick all the boxes:
1. These recipes for baked chicken use all natural ingredients, so they are healthy and nutritious.
Chicken is low in cholesterol, and poultry is high in protein. It's the baking, rather than frying, that makes chicken such a nutritious choice.
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 also much faster to prepare than many other options.
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.
Quick and effortless.
3. Baked chicken recipes can be altered in many ways -- and always taste good.
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.
So baked chicken dishes are an excellent choice for us. All of the recipes we've tried have been a big hit with everyone, mostly because the mild taste of chicken is pleasing to everyone at the table.
4. Baked chicken recipes can be made by anyone.
The recipes we used have all been quite simple, even for beginning cooks like us. In fact, I've been surprised at how easy it has been!
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 recipes also have the added benefit of being cheap.
Like most people, we are trying to stay on a budget, and a major part of our budget is groceries.
Unlike fast food, baked chicken dishes cost very little. Chicken is a lot less expensive than most types of meat or fish, and the ingredients you typically add to chicken recipes are vegetables, which are an economical buy.
6. Baked chicken recipes are even popular with kids.
Even our faddy children enjoy these recipes and can actually get involved in cooking them as they are so easy. They'd eat baked chicken every night if we let them.
It truly is a miracle for us to be able to cook healthy meals that satisfy the kids, our time constraints and our budget needs.
Baked chicken recipes are truly the best way to make a transition to healthier eating for your family that will also save you money. Don't wait another day to try these amazing dishes, you'll be amazed as well.
