Meal tip

We enjoy expanding a frozen meal by adding healthy accompaniments. Besides tasting good, being convenient, and being economical, we know exactly what we are eating unlike Take-out or at a Chinese buffet. For example, Trader Joes has a frozen Teriyaki chicken and a Mandarin Orange chicken, both of which come with 2 generous packets of sauce. Aldis also has a similar frozen Orange Chicken. The Teriyaki chicken can be heated in the microwave and the two Asian orange chickens are baked in the oven. Today with Aldis version, I boiled 1/2 box of orzo in water and steamed broccoli in the microwave while baking the chicken. Kept the Orzo in its pot and poured out most of the water, added some sauce from the packet, stirred, added the broccoli, stirred, added the baked chicken on top with some more sauce drizzled over it and served. We actually had a packet of sauce left that I'll use in my next baked oatmeal chicken.
