A Note from Feedfeed

Savory chicken patties, creamy cauliflower mash, and bitter roasted broccoli rabe are paired with tart lemon to help balance the flavors; this is a dinner the whole family will love! Perfect for early fall because it's comforting but not too heavy-you're getting a good amount of veggies with a dish that could easily be carb-heavy.
