Here is another quick and balanced meal using prepared foods and veggie mixes.

I (Pauline) decided to pick up a prepared rotisserie chicken and pair it with rice and a salad mix of romain lettuce, kale, dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds. I used budget-friendly microwavable rice found at Dollarama. This meal was tasty, filling, and took less than 5 minutes to assemble!
