Trader Joe's Thursdays

Chinese Dinner

2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts-cut into strips*Stab the chicken a lot and put in a Ziploc bag with the dressing. Maybe a cup or so. Enough to cover and marinate the chicken. Put in the fridge for an hour.*

TJ's Chinese Chicken Salad dressing to marinate the chicken (I like the one from Costco best though)

TJ's Veggie Egg Rolls. TJ's has chicken ones too but these are less fattening and healthier.

TJ's Vegetable Fried Rice. See above note on the egg rolls.

TJ's Sweet Chili Sauce. By the cans of coconut milk.

bag of carrots or broccoli or green beans (whatever side veggie you want)

an egg

some oil

*Rooster hot sauce-not at TJ's but AWESOME and necessary for Jesse to eat any type of Aisan food.

~Pop the egg rolls in the oven on oiled foil lined pans (it says to on the package). Heat a sauté pan and dump the chicken in. No need to oil the pan since there is oil in the dressing. Cook until done. While the chicken is cooking, heat some oil in another sauté pan. Dump in the veggie rice bag and cook-about 3 minutes. Check the chicken and egg rolls. Both should probably flip over by now. Then push all the rice to the outer edges of the pan, crack the egg in the middle, scramble it up and then mix into the rice. By now the egg rolls should be nice and crispy. Pour some chili sauce into a dish for dipping. Oh-you should steam some veggies for the side while you're checking the chicken and egg rolls somehow and Ta-Da! Dinner is served.

Total cost: about $10. WAY cheaper than Chinese take-out! And healthier too. :)
