Ingredients
3 cups - Mixed vegetables, raw and/or frozen*2 - Chicken breast, no skin or bone1 can - Campbell's Broccoli Cheese condensed soup**1 cup - Skim milk***1 cup - Mushrooms, white, raw, sliced (optional)2 cups - Brown rice, whole grain****5 cups - Water1 tbsp - Flour, white (may need more or less, depending on topping thickness after mixing in all ingredients)1 large saucepan or pot1 large skillet or medium pot1 colander 1 sharp knife (to cut up raw chicken)1 cutting boardCooking spoons of your choosing*Use any variety of mixed veggies that you prefer.**Different condensed soups could be used, such as Cream of Mushroom***Use regular milk, 2% milk, or soy milk - whatever you prefer****Use whatever rice you prefer, such as white or yellow
1. Boil 4 cups water in large saucepan or pot. Reduce heat to medium and keep water at a low boil. Add vegetables. Move to next step, but keep an eye on your veggies and stir if needed.
2. On cutting board, cut up chicken breast into bite-size pieces. In large skillet or medium pot, cook chicken on low-medium to medium heat until fully cooked. Do not overcook or your chicken will be too dry. Move to next step, but keep an eye on your chicken. It should be cooking at a slow to medium pace. The idea is to cook juicy chicken pieces.
3. I used a rice cooker, but rice can also be cooked on the stove in a small to medium pot. For this recipe, I’ll assume you’re using a cooker. Add in rice and water. Turn on the cooker. If your cooker is like mine, it’ll turn off when the rice is finished cooking.
4. Your vegetables should be cooked by now. Go ahead and use a fork to take a test bite to be sure they are cooked to your liking. I like mine a little more soft than some people, so I let it cook longer. Once finished, use colander to strain water from vegetables. Pour vegetables back into large saucepan/pot and place back on stove over low heat.
5. Add condensed soup, mushrooms, and milk to vegetables. Stir. Once your chicken is fully cooked, add it in, too. Stir. If your mixture is still a little too runny, add some flour. You may only want to add 1 tbsp of flour at a time to avoid thickening it up too much. Keep stirring and over low heat until your rice is finished.
6. When rice is finished, spoon some rice on your plate and some vegetable topping to your rice.
7. Enjoy!
Makes at least 6 1-cup servings (0.5 cup vegetable topping, 0.5 cups rice).
