Author's Notes

If you are feeding toddlers or small children, feel free to cut the chicken breasts into tenders. This way, they can avoid using a knife and fork; tenders are easier for little hands to hold.

Cleaning and cutting the veggies can be done up to three days ahead of time! Just refrigerate them in a covered container until you’re ready to use them.
