Lemon parmesan roasted broccoli

All a tasty chicken main really needs is some green veggies next to it.

Enter: lemon parmesan roasted broccoli.

Not only is it easy to make, but it’s also delicious!

Take a look at Meghan’s recipe.

And a little tip: make sure your broccoli is as dry as possible before tossing it in oil, this will help it get extra crispy.

Garlic mashed potatoes

A saucy chicken dish goes with mashed potatoes like strawberries go with cream.

The mash will soak up all the wonderful flavors of the Tuscan sauce, meaning each bite will be filled with flavor.

Jennifer’s mash recipe crashed through my expectations – it’s creamy and delicious in all the right ways.

Psst… yukon gold potatoes are the best type of potato to use for mash.

Then this fettuccine alfredo pasta is exactly what you’re looking for.

The pasta is a warming, creamy blend of cheese and garlic.

Did I mention that this alfredo from Aberdeen’s kitchen recipe is guilt-free?

The recipe uses vegetable broth and skimmed milk instead of cream.

The peppery flavor of the arugula contrasts beautifully with the creamy Tuscan chicken sauce, keeping the whole meal from getting too heavy.

It provides a nice crunchy texture, and has a hint of acidity to counteract the rich cream sauce.

Your dinner is going to be pretty heavy with this and Tuscan chicken, so plan for a nice big nap afterwards.

Colorful beet salad

This beautiful beet salad is warm and earthy – it’s almost a half-salad-half-vegetable side.

It also has a simple citrus vinaigrette that gives a zesty orange bite to your Tuscan chicken.
