I am a firm believer in getting your kids in the kitchen to help prepare family meals. My children will eat ANYTHING that they "cook." If you are struggling with a picky eater invite them to help you make dinner. Their participation my change their entire attitude towards mealtime. Time spent in the kitchen not only teaches cooking skills but also reinforces lessons taught at school such as following directions, math and creativity. The following recipe, Foil Chicken Taco Dinner, is super easy and the kids can assemble the entire meal with little help from you. It is also yummy and budget friendly. And really, who doesn't like to eat their dinner out of aluminum foil?
FOIL CHICKEN TACO DINNER
4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tsp taco or fajita seasoning mix
1/2 lb potatoes, peeled, sliced THINLY
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup sour cream
Heat oven to 400. Sprinkle chicken with seasoning mix. Place 1/2 cup potatoes on center of large sheet of heavy duty foil. Top with chicken, cheese and salsa. Seal up foil tightly (leave a little room for heat circulation) and place foil packs on a baking sheet. Bake 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Cool 5 minutes. Cut slits to release steam before opening. Top with sour cream.
**This would also be good with rice instead of the potatoes**
