Successful chef Chad Christian Clift loves cooking for his young daughter, and as a busy chef and single parent, is always looking for easy and quick meals to make that are also nutritious and tasty. Over the years, he has found many great dishes to serve kids that do not take too much time to make, but still give children everything they need to stay healthy and keep growing. Clift has even been adding fun and innovative dishes for kids to the menus at the restaurants where he works.
- A fun Asian dish that kids love is Teriyaki chicken and rice. This dish can easily be made in a slow cooker or in the oven, and both kids and parents love the distinct and salty flavor of Teriyaki sauce. Chicken provides kids with much-needed protein, while rice is a healthy way to add carbohydrates to the meal.
- Another fun and easy snack that kids will go crazy over is pot stickers. They can be made with both chicken or pork, and there are many high-quality versions readily available at the grocery store if you don’t have time to make your own. Pair them with some grilled vegetables and rice for a healthy but delicious meal.
- Instead of making pizza, why not make eggplant parmesan? Kids will still get the yummy taste of tomato sauce and cheese, but without the grease or the heavy crust. Eggplant is also an easy way for kids to get their vegetables.
Chad Christian Clift loves making these and many other fun and easy dishes to enjoy with his daughter.
