This recipe could be paired nicely with a baked potato and cooked spinach.  It would also go well with riced cauliflower and roasted broccoli.  In addition, WW said that this flavor combination would pair well with turkey cutlets or white fish fillets.  There are many options for such a simple and delightful recipe.  Enjoy!!
