Roast chicken with all the trimmings
This is a great alternative to the party food normally given to children. The roast vegetable chips give it a bit of a healthy twist. Do get an organic chicken and don't be tempted by the £2 ones out there. Not only do organic ones taste much better, look at it from your child's perspective – any child would prefer to eat a happy chicken.
