Seven grain chick'n with mustard greens and millet
Crispy plant-based chick'n over buttered greens makes a weeknight dinner that asks little of you. The tenders stay crunchy while greens soften below, and mustard's bite balances the neutral grain breading. Serve with rice or toast to catch the pan juices.
