Here's a quickie meal that can be part of your menu or saved, mostly, for the next time.
Ingredients
  • 1 envelope flavored rice. We like Knorr Buffalo Chicken version.
  • 1 can chicken breast - Aldi's works. All breast meat 12.5 oz. for under $2
  • 1 Red Pepper (can be green or yellow)
  • 1 medium Onion
Instructions
  1. Dice the onion and pepper, sauté briefly in a 3 quart pan
  2. Add rice and liquid according to the recipe on the envelope.
  3. Use the liquid from the canned chicken for the liquid, adding water to get the required amount,
  4. Cut the chunks of chicken breast into bite-size pieces and simmer until the rice is done.
  5. That's it! Easy-peasy. Good for 2 hungry campers. The onion and pepper you'll have to replace, but if you don't need this, leave it in your kitchen box until the next time.
