Teriyaki Chicken & Cauliflower Skillet

Tonight’s dinner is a fun and healthy new way to jazz up chicken. I know, I know, it sounds so basic. But it’s anything but! The flavors are delicious, the time it takes to make is faster than take-out and if I’m being honest, it’s a pretty looking dish! We do eat with our eyes and all….!

This is one of those dinners that has everything you need right in one pan – the protein, the veg, the substance. The girls and Trevor absolutely loved this and I was really surprised since it has a lot of cauliflower. But, it worked so you won’t hear a peep out of me!

Do your kids struggle to eat veggies? What veggie dishes do you make them that they like? Let me know in the comments below!
