One of the best parts of this recipe is the minimal amount of work required. You can cook the chicken breast or you can use a rotisserie chicken – perfect for those days when you just can’t summon the energy to cook anything! You can buy most of these veggies pre-cut as well.

The Asian Sesame dressing is another great shortcut option – just because we’re making a simple dinner doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice on flavor! Annie’s dressings are all super delicious and many of them are organic + plant-based – including the one I used!
