This Simple 2-Ingredient Meal Has Quickly Become My Favorite Weeknight Dish

Back in my college days, dinner often required some creativity. Between juggling classes and extracurriculars from early morning to late evening, cooking was the last thing on my mind when I returned home. On top of that, my minimum-wage job didn’t leave much room for fancy groceries. Thankfully, social media gave me a treasure trove of easy, budget-friendly dinner ideas.

My Easy, Go-To Weeknight Meal

I’ve experimented with every dinner combo featured in the video, but my top pick remains the classic pairing of Knorr Chicken Rice and Swanson’s Chicken à la King—it’s the perfect quick meal.

As shown in the video, it’s as simple as following the instructions on the package to cook the rice and stir in the Chicken à la King. It’s the perfect dish to warm up with, especially on chilly days after being out in the cold. While it works as a side, it’s also a hearty meal for one. For a little extra flair, I like to add some shredded chicken from Aldi or toss in some steamed broccoli to give it more substance. If you're seeking a no-fuss dinner option, this one is a winner.
