Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry

Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry

Tender white meat chicken with long grain white rice, delicate snap peas, carrots and zesty red peppers in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce.

 Lean Cuisine. Lean Cuisine. Lean Cuisine. It may be time to that we take a break. We need to talk about this "cook for 2 mins take off cover stir, and cook for 2 more minutes" business. We're eating lean cuisines because we want to minimize the amount of effort we put into the food. It's also about time we talk about these entrees. You make delicious appetizers and 'lunch' dishes. This Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry wasn't satisfactory; not in the least.

• Preferred Beverage: Let's be honest, whatever is in your liquor cabinet/ fridge and mix then together. Beer and orange juice? Rum and iced tea/ lemonade? If you're eating this then you probably really don't care about the flavor so much as getting the substance in your body.
• Proper Attire: After a hard day of work come home, put this in the microwave and take off all your clothes. 
• Appropriate Cinema: Iron Chef on the Food Network. No better way to highlight how depressing it is that you've microwaved a Lean Cuisine when these people are making amazing dishes in like 60 minutes.

             This dish was not much to write home about. It was boring and kind of gross and the worst part was that I had to actually touch (stir) it before it was done cooking. Like, I had already taken off my work clothes and didn't feel like doing much more aside from sitting on the couch and being an American. The added shame of watching Iron Chef was, really, the icing on the cake. The thing that got me through consuming this dish was the prospect of going to bed.

             When I'd rather go to sleep than eat, something is terribly wrong. The proportions were atrocious. I ate the whole dish in about 4 bites, not including the snow peas. Still ravenous I had to cook the pizza in the freezer. This Chicken Teriyaki dish is a really great way to realize that you actually eat way more than the people over at Lean Cuisine believe you eat. I'd suggest beginning by preheating the oven before you even fathom opening the box for this 'stir fry'.
