Dinner: Spicy Perdue Chicken Veggie Skillet

We’ll start using the Perdue Shortcuts now and also rotate some veg.

What to use (for you only):
• 8 oz Perdue Shortcuts grilled chicken (one 8 oz bag)
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1–2 cups frozen broccoli florets
• 1 cup baby carrots, sliced or halved
• 1–2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 2–3 tsp chili garlic sauce (like last time)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Splash of water or chicken broth (from your cartons)
• Optional carb:
• EITHER 1 small microwave sweet potato
• OR 1 cup cooked Carbé Diem pasta
(Pick one, not both.)

Cooking steps
1. Prep veg
• Slice bell pepper into strips.
• If carrots are thick, halve them lengthwise.
2. Start the pan
• Non-stick skillet on medium-high.
• Add 1 tsp olive oil.
• Toss in bell pepper + carrots. Sauté 3–4 minutes.
3. Add broccoli
• Add 1–2 cups frozen broccoli.
• Add a splash of water or a couple of tablespoons of chicken broth.
• Cover and steam 3–5 minutes until veggies are bright and mostly tender.
4. Add chicken
• Add the 8 oz Perdue Shortcuts.
• Stir and cook 3–4 minutes until everything is hot.
5. Make it creamy + spicy
• Turn heat down to medium-low.
• Stir in 2–3 tsp chili garlic sauce.
• Add 1–2 tbsp Greek yogurt and a little splash of water/broth if it’s too thick.
• Stir just until creamy and hot (don’t boil the yogurt hard or it can curdle).
6. Optional carb
• If using sweet potato: microwave one per package directions, serve on the side.
• If using Carbé Diem pasta: cook 1 cup cooked portion, drain, and either:
• Toss it directly into the skillet, or
• Serve the chicken/veg over the pasta.
