Healthy Twists on a Classic
You can easily make this dish healthier by using skinless chicken thighs or swapping out some of the butter for olive oil. Adding more colorful veggies or even tossing in some spinach just before serving can boost the nutrient intake without sacrificing taste.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I like to serve this dish with a simple salad on the side or some bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce. For a complete meal, pair it with rice or quinoa to round things out.
Getting It Just Right
To ensure the chicken is cooked perfectly, use a meat thermometer to check for a temperature of 165°F (75°C). If you prefer crispier veggies, you can roast them for a few more minutes, but watch closely so they don’t burn.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for about 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven until heated through.
Enjoy Every Moment
This dish is not just about food; it’s about bringing the family together. Sit down, share stories, and enjoy every flavorful bite.
