ONE: Collect ingredients:
1. 2 frozen chicken breasts
2. 1 box rice with seasonings (like Farmhouse 4 oz mixes)
3. 1 small bag peeled baby carrots
TWO: Start cooking:
1. cut chicken up into large-ish bite size pieces; saute in a little oil for about 5 minutes
2. Add rice mix, seasoning, water, according to box directions;
3. add in peeled baby carrots
4. bring to a simmer
. . .
THREE: cook stovetop on low about 25 minutes, until rice is absorbed and carrots are tender. (check the rice box for time).
. . .
EAT! This can be your whole dinner - or serve a salad and garlic bread with it. It's like fast food, its so easy and takes one frying pan with a lid. This serves about TWO unless one is a 3 year old.
. . .
OPTIONS; This is where it gets interesting:
. . .
One time I made it with Spanish rice, and added in chicken, carrots, corn, and sprinkled cheese on top, and served with salsa and chips.
. . .
Another time I made it with garlic, frozen green beans and corn, added in some Parmesan and a T. of lemon juice, and sprinkled cut up tomatoes and jalapenos on top.
. . .
The main thing is for the vegetable to cook about the same amount of time as the rice. For example, you wouldn't want to put peas in, they'd be mush. But you could put them in at the last minute.
