This Easy Garlic Chicken recipe is a great go-to recipe for when you need a quick dinner! Pair it with the new Alexia premium vegetable side dishes and you’ve got yourself an easy meal with lots of flavor!

After my youngest son, Benjamin, was born, making dinner was rough. He didn’t sleep well, and because of some special needs he had early on, I couldn’t just put him down in a pack-and-play or swing to get things done. I loved being home with him, but the lack of sleep and energy wasn’t fun. At all.

To get dinner on the table every night was a challenge! I would literally start prepping hours before we would be sitting down to eat. We ate this Easy Garlic Chicken all the time. There’s hardly any prep so it was one of the easiest meals for me to make and everyone loves it!

Now, 2 years later, the lack of sleep and energy has been replaced with a lack of time! Since this chicken recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make, it is back in full rotation!  I’ve also recently found these really delicious, premium side dishes from Alexia to pair with it!

Seriously, they are so good! I love that these complete side dishes are great starch alternatives that I can feel good about my family eating! Alexia uses super premium vegetables and ingredients . Their products are non-GMO verified, gluten-free, and they use organic dairy ingredients.  You don’t need to add any additional ingredients to these side dishes – they are ready to cook right out of the package and take less than 10 minutes!

Alexia’s new premium vegetable side dishes come in several varieties:

• Cauliflower Risotto with Parmesan and Sea Salt
• Butternut Squash Risotto with Parmesan and Sea Salt
• Rice Cauliflower with Aged White Cheddar and Ground Black Pepper
• Riced Vegetable Pilaf with Sea Salt and Thyme
• Mashed Cauliflower with Butter and Sea Salt
• Mashed Butternut Squash with Butter and Brown Sugar

The Mashed Butternut Squash and Cauliflower Risotto with Parmesan and Sea Salt are my two favorites, but any of these delicious side dishes will pair great with this Garlic Chicken Recipe!
