The majority of the time I cook from scratch. However, some of my recipes use some pre-made ingredients. Like my chicken masala recipe. For those nights when I don’t have a lot of time and want to have a quick dinner on the table I use curry sauce from a jar! Never fear I make a few additions and the end result is very much like a dinner made from scratch and just as tasty.
Chicken Masala and Vegetables
Ingredients:
1 pound of boneless chicken –cut into chunks, raw or can use leftover chicken
1 cup Zucchini – sliced
1 cup Carrots – peeled and sliced
Jar of Masala Sauce
Directions:
Take a large pan and sauté the chicken chunks until done. Remove from pan and set aside.
Take sliced carrots and sauté in the same pan.
When the carrots are almost done add the zucchini and continue cooking until vegetables are crisp tender.
Add the chicken to the pan and pour in the jar of sauce.
Use enough sauce to your liking. Heat the mixture through and serve immediately. Excellent served on rice.
Although I usually cook from scratch I am not at all opposed to making a shortcut now and then. This recipe is perfect for those days when you are rushed and just need to get a delicious dinner on the table quickly.
