It’s especially good with this simple recipe for 30 MINUTE SKILLET TERIYAKI CHICKEN.

I like to buy these bags of precut veggies, they make it so easy! Just place them in a large glass bowl, add a bit of water to the bottom of the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 5 minutes on high. Allow them to sit and rest, then microwave for another 2-3 minutes or until the veggies are tender.

Toss with a bit of butter, salt and a bit of lemon pepper, if you like that seasoning. If not, it’s just as good without it.
