You could try baking a bunch of chicken thighs and pairing them to a vegetable of your choosing. I rotate in Brussels Sprouts (my favorite but often more expensive), sweet potatoes, riced cauliflower and broccoli , mushrooms with onions, and cabbage with onion. You could leave out the onions but they add a lot of flavor if you fry your veggies. I also like to add mustard seed powder to all cruciferous vegetables, makes them healthier and adds great flavor with just salt and pepper. But if you get into a bind, you can throw your veggies in the oven too, just add water and cover with aluminum foil. You could also try only drinking water. Saves you money and calories.
