Dinner Tonight: July 26, 2017 Hawaiian Chicken
|
|
To get kids involved with this meal, have them mix the juice concentrate with water until smooth, or make enough brown rice or quinoa for everyone (about 1/2 cup per serving). Kids can also make a fresh green salad as a side (or set the tone with a hula-inspired playlist!).
This deliciously easy dish rings up at under $2 a serving! The recipe comes to us from the Pennsylvania Nutrition Education Network.
