What would go good with a chicken peanuty dish?!
Yikes! I'm having people over for dinner tomorrow night and don't know what to serve!. I'm going to make a chicken thing with a peanut sauce to serve over rice but think I should have some veggies or a salad!. I am a terrible cook so I need to keep it simple!.
Any ideas would help

A simple salad with maybe a light carrot dressing (like the ones that come with the side salads when you order sushi)!. Or why not simply sautee some zucchini, peppers and onions to go with it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
