Chicken Parmigiana with Baked Vegetables

I did tell you once that I'm a big fan of chicken. Well that was before.

"Before what?" you ask.

Before it became the basis of every meal I attempt to cook. I do believe that I've now had chicken in ways previously unthought of by anyone. I've roasted it, barbecued it, grilled it, fried it, eaten it cold, eaten it reheated, crumbed it, squeezed lemon juice over it, covered it with gravy, poured curry sauce over it, and put it into tacos!

Do you think I'm still a big fan of chicken?

That's right.

My kids however, still seem to like it. Well tonight they certainly did. Both of them happily ate their chicken, tomatoes, cheese and all, but steadfastly refused to eat their baked vegetables. This is not so bad. I've lately stumbled across a few life-saving websites that bravely instruct mothers on all the ways you can sneak vegetables into other dishes, without your kids knowing. This will be my next challenge.

In the meantime, if anyone knows something scrumptious that's easy to cook, doesn't contain red meat, has lots of hidden vegetables, maybe a bit of rice and has absolutely nothing to do with chicken, please send it my way.
