By Amy Casey
Having chicken breasts in your freezer takes stress out of getting dinner on the table for your family. They are versatile and can be made into countless entrees for dinner. Hoisin Chicken Rice Bowls are an ideal make ahead dinner for a busy night. Diced chicken, red peppers, mushrooms, and garlic are sautéed in a little peanut oil and seasoned with a salty and spicy sweet combination of teriyaki and hoisin sauces. Serve in a crisp lettuce lined bowl filled with steaming rice and you have a better than Chinese take out meal. 
Hoisin Chicken Rice Bowls are a go-to meal for my family. I make a big batch because it tastes freshly made when reheated, and I can get a few meals out of it. Make a triple batch and freeze some for a quick dinner when you are pressed for time. Imagine your delight when you pull your homemade dinner from the freezer and all that needs to be done is heat it up. The simple things in life make everyone happy.
