This was a fun and easy dinner to make. The Chicken Squares looked great and tasted wonderful. Though the carrots were naughty, they were delicious and a great way to get a picky eater to eat vegetables. It probably could have used another side like rice or potatoes, to improve the plate appeal. I will definitely make this again.
