Chicken Tonkatsu with Mixed Vegetable Sauce

Some people are blessed with good culinary intuition that allows them to make everything from scratch in a short time.  Unfortunately, I’m neither blessed with culinary talent and time to prepare healthy and tasty dishes from scratch.  Luckily groceries and supermarkets offer pre-cut fresh produce and instant seasonings that will cut down on prep time and minimize the chances of your dish ending up with an unsavory taste.  Here’s a mix of supermarket produce that combines kids’ favorite fried chicken and the dreaded vegetables into one dish that they’ll surely love.
