Using prepared ingredients from a supermarket or food coop allows you to create a home-cooked meal in a fraction of the time. Using rotisserie chicken (ideally low-sodium), pre-cut fresh or frozen vegetables and canned tomatoes makes this an easy meal for a weeknight when schedules are jammed.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cooked rotisserie chicken, deboned and chopped
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 3 cups zucchini, broccoli, or other vegetable of choice, fresh or frozen
- 1 14.5-ounce can low-sodium diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Cooked brown rice or pasta for serving (optional)
Directions
- Preheat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add butter.
- When butter is melted, add garlic, paprika and chicken.
- Add the vegetables and tomatoes and mix well. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 5-8 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp. Do not overcook zucchini.
- Add the cheese, mix well and remove from heat.
- Serve alone or with cooked brown rice or pasta.
Make-ahead tip: Use your weekend prep time to purchase and chop rotisserie chicken, cut up fresh vegetables and cook and portion brown rice in meal-sized bags to ensure that this meal can quickly go from skillet to table on a busy weeknight.
