Chicken, Carrot, and Cauliflower Masala

Back to work in the new year means trying to simplify in terms of time and money. For the past two weeks I have tried my best to make inexpensive, quick to prepare meals. This is one of them. This entire dinner took 20 minutes to make, if that. I had already chopped the veggies over the weekend, but it only would have added about five minutes to the whole process. My husband and I enjoyed this meal as shown, and the kids had the rice, naan, leftover roasted chicken from the previous night, and veggie sticks.

Ingredients:

2 jars Trader Joe's Masala Simmer Sauce (the key to affordable and quick!)

1 package chicken breast tenders

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

4 medium carrots, sliced into 1/2 inch discs

steamed rice and garlic naan for serving

Directions:

1. Pour both jars of sauce along with two cups of water into a pot. 

2. Add chicken, cauliflower, and carrots, and cook according to directions.

Twenty minutes later, you're done. Seriously, I realize this is basically following the directions on the jar, but sometimes we (myself especially included) need a reminder that delicious, flavorful, healthy dinner can really be this easy.
