A week of lunches in about 30 minutes. Rotisserie chicken keeps it fast, and holding the sauce until serving keeps the rice and veggies from going soggy. Makes 5 bowls.

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
White Rice (Dry) 1 1/2 cups
Water 3 cups
Ready-to-Steam Broccoli & Cauliflower 1 bag (~12 oz)
Rotisserie Chicken, Shredded 1
Sauce to Serve1 To Taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: combine 1 1/2 cups rice with 3 cups water, bring to a boil, cover, and cook on low ~18 minutes. Rest 5 minutes, then fluff (yields ~5 cups cooked).
  2. Steam the veggie bag in the microwave per the package directions.
  3. Shred the rotisserie chicken.
  4. Into each of 5 containers, portion ~1 cup rice, ~2/3 cup veggies, and 1/5 of the chicken.
  5. Refrigerate. Add sauce at eating time — not before — so the rice and veggies don’t go soggy.
  1. Teriyaki, blackening, or buffalo all work well — keep a bottle handy and dress each bowl as you eat it.
