It took too long to realize that once E was eating lots of peas, chicken, and pasta, and cheese, i could combine all of these things into a nice easy dish to prep.
This could be combined in a few different ways, base recipe followed by riffs
Ingredients:
- Cooked chicken, chopped into whatever size works for you (I prefer thighs slowly braised, but can do the same with breast, or just buy precooked chicken)
- Cooked pasta. About a cup of uncooked pasta is an adult serving size, you can cook a cup for the kiddo, serve some for the meal and use the extra for a different meal or snack. I prefer using penne and cutting each tube into 4-5 rings. Toss with 1 T or so of olive oil
- 1/2 cup frozen peas, cooked in simmering water for about 2 minutes, rinsed in cool water
- 2 T cheese in either grated, small chopped bits, etc
* combine all ingredients - serve. Add more olive oil and salt to taste
Ideas for similar combinations
Meat:
- chopped cooked sausage, or sauteed loose sausage
- browned ground turkey (sautee with an italian herb mix or some other herb or spice mix)
- lentils (can even get precooked lentils)
Veggies
- sautee finely diced carrots/celery
- chiffonade spinach, toss with warm pasta/meat to allow it to wilt
