Stuffed Chicken with Creme Fraiche
I am not sure about your own toddler, but mine hates anything green her plate. I usually hide stuff for her in smoothies, but for some reasons she loved this stuffed chicken with creme fraiche and for some reasons she did not care about the spinach. I am guessing the creme covered whatever taste she does not like in green leafy vegetables.

I made this one just recently and it was a big hit! I used ricotta cheese instead of sour cream and the filling was heavenly creamy. Also I used fresh Dijon mustard (without white wine) for an added kick. Just loved it.
So great!!I am excited to try your version next time. Thank you for being a valuable reader.
