Foodie Friday: Chicken and Veggie Bake

We buy a lot of veggies.  A LOT of veggies.  First of all, we love them, second of all, they are almost all 0 points on Weight Watchers.  I had a lot of veggies in the fridge, and I was feeling inspired so I started listing all the side dishes I could make with them.  I got a good list going and them I challenged Stuart to the same.  We were on a roll! We had tomatoes, baby spinach, collard greens, radishes, carrots, asparagus, broccoli, celery, cauliflower green apples, white potatoes, green apples, and new potatoes.  Here is what we came up with:

• Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes
• Rosemary Roasted New Potatoes
• Brocolli Potato Soup
• Cauliflower/Potato Mash
• Roasted Sesame Carrots
• Balsamic Glazed Carrots
• Beer Braised Collards
• Sauteed Spinach
• Roasted Asparagas
• Sauteed Collard Greens with Bacon
• Fried Spinach Chips
• Stewed Tomatoes with Collards
• Radish Potato Bake
• Sauteed Carrots with Butter, Garlic, and Radishes
• Curried Carrot Soup
• Lemon Butter Asparagas
• Grilled Asparagas
• Steamed Broccoli with Smoked Gouda
• Roasted Cinnamon Apples
• Homemade Apple Sauce
• Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes
• Hash Browns
• Smashed New Potatoes

Challenge for you: I would like to add to the list. Leave a comment, or two, or three with your own ideas :)

Here is what we really ended up doing that night: Chicken and Veggie Bake

 2 cups brown rice

3 cups halved radishes

1 large plain baked potatoes

3 cups chopped carrots

2 cups chopped onion

3 small sliced green apples

3 bone-in chicken breasts 

2 cups apple juice

2 cups chicken broth

Chop up everything.  Put the uncooked rice in the bottom of a large baking dish, set in the chicken, top with all the veggies, and pour all the liquid over everything.  Salt and pepper to taste. Cook at 425 degrees for an hour covered with foil, then cook for 15 minutes uncovered. Done and soooo good!  Makes tons and is super simple.  It's totally baby friendly too. Corgan ate her whole serving after she got used to the radishes. (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the final product, but trust me, it was pretty.)
