For chicken, heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small amount of oil, then add chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Zucchini Yogurt Multigrain Muffins
I tried finding a recipe for my picky toddler to eat her vegetables. Since I couldn't find one, I came up with this recipe for zucchini yogurt multigrain muffins. One cup of carrots and one cup of zucchini is a nice way to get yellow and green veggies into the diet! You can use any nuts, raisins, etc., in the recipe — whatever you have on hand and is toddler-approved.
