WHAT YOU DO
Per instructions of Betty Crocker Grain Salad, fill a 3 quart pot half full with water and heat to boiling. Place bag of grains from the Suddenly Grain Salad box into boiling pot of water, and continue to boil for approx. 17 minutes, flipping the bag halfway through. Once done, drain the bag of grains and water, then run bag of grains under cold water for approx. 1-2 minutes to cool. In a separate bowl, mix together the chipotle sauce packet with 1 tbs. of olive oil and 1 tbs. of water. Combine the bag of grains with the chipotle sauce until throughly mixed together. Top with grilled chicken breast and serve warm or cold.This is a great alternative when you don’t have time to cook during the week but still want to meal prep! The southwestern chipotle grain salad is made of brown rice, quinoa, black beans, corn, red peppers, and a chipotle vinaigrette, so it’s a great way to get in a variety of grains!
