Easies dinner ever

Back to blogging after a long vacation.

EASIEST SEMI-GOURMET DINNER EVER
Go to Trader Joe's and buy:
- Moroccan Simmer Sauce (1 jar per person, minimum 2)
- Fresh chicken
- Frozen cooked brown rice (box contains 3 packets, 1 packet serves 3)
- Baby spinach/mushroom/blueberry/cranberry/dijon-vinaigrette salad-in-bar (1 bag serves 3)

Morning of dinner:
- Pour a jar of Simmer Sauce into crockpot
- Add chicken
- Pour the rest of your jars of Simmer Sauce over it
- Put on lid and switch on at Low heat
- Optional: add sliced yellow squash (I didn't try this, but I think it would go well)

Just before dinner:
- Assemble salads, except for dressing
- Thaw/warm brown rice in microwave
- Set table, put sauce in gravy boat

To serve:
- Mound brown rice on center of plate
- Chicken on top of rice
- Sauce over everything
- Serve it

Beverage:
- Chilled sparkling water is a nice contrast to the warmth and spices of the dish.
- If serving wine, I'd probably choose something in the fruity-red category.
