Asian influenced american chicken chili rice in a bag mashup

from the pantry:
chicken chili leftovers (could be any kinda thing like it)

a beef broccoli rice in a bag thing
1 persian cucumber
8 peanuts
sriracha


add ons: none
cost today 0$


So the chicken chili was leftovers from a catered party my friend went to which is kind of sort of an add on but it could be pretty much any chili/casserole/meat thing.
The idea was to make something good with the " knorr's sides" rice in a bag broccoli and beef flavor which sat in the pantry for a long time because is just seemed so SPECIFIC. I cooked that up and heated up the leftover chili, which got put on top of the seasoned rice side, then topped it with some peanuts and sliced cucumber, with sriracha sprinkled on it.  A kind of indonesian spin on a pretty all american side dish and protein.  It ended up being a pretty delicious and it looked sort of like dinner at aunties house in jakarta. sort of. That pack of persian cucumbers went a LONGGG way.
