The range was on the blink the other night, so we had a no-cook dinner. The kids would have been thrilled with some pizza rolls tossed in the microwave, but since we had eaten Chinese take-out the night before, I had a taste for real food.
I found everything I needed in one quick trip to the store: A rotisserie chicken, a bag of mixed Italian salad greens, a red bell pepper and some microwaveable rice.
At home, I took the meat off the chicken, tossed it on top of the greens, drizzled some of the chicken juices over the salad, added a splash of balsamic vinegar, some roasted tomatoes and a little feta cheese. Served with the rice and red pepper strips, it made a tasty, fast meal.
Actually it was kind of fun, like when you have a can of beans in the pantry and not much else, or when the power goes out and you spend the night in candlelight.
