[quote=Anonymous]This is what I've done in the past:

Tonight, make your favorite rice dish (whether plain rice, brown rice, wild rice, rice pilaf, etc).  That can be reheated in the microwave.  Get chicken and cut into medallions,  Get shrimp.  Store ready to use chicken and shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge until tomorrow.  Get lemons and fresh basil.  Tomorrow, chop basil (or make a chiffonade), zest a little bit of the lemon and cut the lemon in half,  take a skillet, melt butter, brown chicken and shrimp (and the butter), toss in fresh basil just until the basil becomes aromatic, toss in lemon zest, squeeze lemon over the meats and serve.  You can reheat the rice in the microwave while the meats are browning.  Serve with your favorite veggie side whether something that can be done quickly (like microwave steamed veggies) or perhaps a cold salad that can be made tonight and left prepared in the fridge to serve cold (I often make a cucumber and tomato salad for something like this).  It really takes less than 15 minutes to put all this together.

I've done this for when guests are arriving from the airport and I'm not sure when they'll arrive.
