Five Minute Recipe - Chicken Saute with Walnuts, Beets and Pea Pods

I am lovin’ our Fab Five dishes! Our challenge to ourselves is to find dishes that are frugal, fabulous and on the table in five minute or less with a minimum of processed foods. Here’s our latest – a huge hit with my family. My husband was raving and licking his plate – I just let him believe I had slaved for hours – I did not dare tell him it took only five minutes.

Rotisserie chicken is one of my favorite grocery store buys. I love them. I buy a couple of them every month for use in entrees, sandwiches, late-night grab-a-bite fridge snacks.

I came up with this simple saute just throwing five of my favorite things in a saute pan. This is a fab food combo – such great flavors! And the canned beets are delicious and so very handy. You can serve this with or without a starch – we are watching carbs at our home these days, so did without. I added a dash of vinegar at the end, which mingled with the sweet beet juices and added wonderful rich flavor.

This will become one of my go to quickie meals.

And don’t worry – we’ll keep these fab five-minute miracles comin’!
