CHILI GINGER ORANGE CHICKEN WITH ROASTED BROCCOLI & RICE…Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment OR rub with oil. Place chicken on one side of baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake 10 min. Then add broccoli to other side of baking sheet and bake 10 more min. Finally, pour orange chili sauce (slightly spicy) over chicken and toss it a little, bake 5v more minutes. While chicken and broccoli are in the oven, warm the rice. Serve the chicken and broccoli over the rice with extra sauce drizzled on top or on the side if desired.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE & ORZO SOUP…I put the cooked orzo on the side to add to your soup when reheating so it doesn’t soak up too much broth and become soggy. Just warm up by portion and add orzo and enjoy. Yum!

While chicken and green beans are in the oven, warm polenta on stove top covered adding 1-2 TBS of water on med-low stirring occasionally until warmed through (5-8 min).
