This one-pot meal is a tasty way to reuse leftover chicken and roasted vegetables. It comes from my friend, food writer and mother of four Amy James. She gave me a week of recipes that you can make with uneaten portions of these three dishes – Pan Roasted Chicken, Lemon Herb Potatoes, and Oven-Roasted Farmers’ Market Vegetables. Other dishes you can prepare are Rosemary, Feta and Potato Grilled Pizza, Chicken and Black Bean Burrito Bowl and a Cobb Salad.

Stir constantly to keep the garlic from burning, and cook until vegetables are warmed through about 2 – 3 minutes.

- Let them sit until they start to cook, then toss it all together for about a minute.
