Busy Allergy Mom – No More Boring Chicken

Busy Allergy Mom – No More Boring Chicken
No more boring chicken

Our family has been in a rut with dinners lately. The way I was getting around it was giving in to serving the boys more junk. So this busy allergy mom decided today, NO MORE BORING CHICKEN to make it a healthy meal. The problem is I’m busy. The boys are in multiple sports and school. I run a business and a household. Who has time to make varied, elaborate recipes that the boys well love…or not. Plus with Logan’s allergies, I usually have to come up with modifications for the recipes…

One of my favorite ways to save a ton time and stay organized with my menu planning is grill large batches of meat on the barbecue. So yesterday I grilled hamburger patties and chicken breasts. I started with chicken breasts plain with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Well yeah, anyone can do that, but how I switched it up was to offer the boys their choice of dipping sauces. No more boring chicken. And with the different choices of dipping sauce they can have the variety that I was hoping for.
