What many of the parents I work with really miss is food which brings them joy. They feel that it isn’t possible because their child just won’t entertain it. 

But my baked chicken and black bean rice dish is a popular one with them because the rice and chicken are relatively plain (the chicken could even be left completely plain for your children) to suit the less adventurous eaters at the table and yet, jazz it up with all the little extras which you can set out on the table in an approachable way, and the dish becomes exciting, full of different flavours and textures.Can I tempt you to give it a try with your family this week?
