I'm looking for a couple side dishes that would go well with this recipeSide dish for Mediterranean stuffed chicken with feta, cream chess and dill?
You've got a lot of flavor in your entree. You want to keep your sides pretty simple- You could go with sauteed spinach with a little garlic, sauteed zuchinni or squash with herb d'provence or Italian seasoning. You could certainly go with brown rice simmered in chicken or veg broth.
Here's some other sides that will complement your entree:
Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan
Recipe courtesy Melissa d'Arabian
Rated: 5 stars out of 5
Ingredients
1 head broccoli
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel the outer layer of the broccoli stalks. Cut the broccoli lengthwise keeping the stalk and broccoli florets intact. (The long broccoli spears should resemble trees.) Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to coat and roast until nicely caramelized, about 15 minutes. Turn broccoli over and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan. Cook until the Parmesan melts, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately.

Make a saffron rice to go with it. The colors will blend well and it will blend well with the meal.
