Tonight I was just planning on serving leftovers to my family. Then I was talking to my sister, and she wasn’t feeling well, so I offered to take her dinner. The problem was, I have not been grocery shopping in a while, so I had a few odds and ends items, and I was trying to figure out what to take her. This is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good. It was a little more time consuming then I like, but I already had cooked brown rice, and some chicken thawed, so with a little planning, most of the items in this can be prepared ahead of time, with other meals, to make this a quick and easy go-to meal.
