To prepare, simply open the packaging and heat the contents. This can be done in a microwave or on a stovetop. For microwave heating, ensure the meal is transferred to a microwave-safe dish and heated according to package directions, stirring halfway through. On the stovetop, empty the contents into a saucepan and heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thoroughly warmed. Avoid overheating. The rice and chicken are already cooked and seasoned.
