Chicken and Rice :)

As I said, I'm a huge fan of one pot meals...This one is a favorite of mine, and will also keep in the fridge for a few days - great for leftovers :)

Chicken and Rice

1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 cans of all white meat chicken (Swanson is a good brand)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 stick butter
1/2 cup flour
32 oz chicken stock
3 Tbsp lemon juice
1 bag of Ben's 90 second microwaveable rice

Combine onion, celery, carrot, garlic and butter in a large stock pot over medium heat. Let simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until the veggies begin to soften. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, then whisk in chicken stock. Add canned chicken and lemon juice, then bring to a boil for about 5-7 minutes. Microwave the rice and add it at the end. Use salt and pepper to taste. The mixture should be thick, like a stew...Add oyster crackers and a dash of hot sauce to each bowl - yummy!
This is super easy and tasty. You can use fresh chicken if you like, but since this recipe combines all the ingredients, the canned stuff is fine. Also, I only buy microwaveable rice because I'm a dummy when it comes to cooking regular rice:)

Best Dishes!
