If you've gotten behind and need dinner fast, a deli roast chicken may be your savior. This one uses a teriyaki-flavored chicken, a few bags of frozen veggies and a simple throw-together sauce to pull it together. Use bottled peanut sauce for faster prep.

What you'll need
- 1 rotisserie chicken – teriyaki flavor or other
- 2 bags ( 20 to 32oz total) frozen vegetables
- 4 cups cooked rice, warmed
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic or 1/2 a teaspoon powdered
Helpful Tip:
Ingredient Tips: You can find bags of frozen brown rice that heats in 3 short minutes in the microwave.
The sauce is simple and delicious, but bottled Asian peanut sauce is available and is fine to use.
How to make it
- Heat vegetables according to package directions and drain. Keep warm.
- Stir together sauce while veggies are cooking. Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic. This will be thick but will thin when heated.
- Shred chicken to make about 2 cups. You should have some left over.
- Warm pre-cooked rice.
- Heat peanut sauce until thinned and toss with vegetables to coat. Add shredded chicken last. Don't stir too much, or it will break apart and get mushy.
