Ingredients

    14 Baby carrots - cut into circles
    1 Cup of frozen peas
    1 Cup of frozen corn
    1/2 Cup of Minute Rice (1/4 cup uncooked)
    1 Tbsp of chopped fresh parsley
    2 Tbsp of chopped onion
    1/2 Cube of Chicken Bouillon
    Pam cooking spray

Directions

Makes 2 servings - About 1.5 cups each serving

Cut the carrots (each into about 5 sections) and cook in water. When they are almost fully cooked, throw in peas and corn. Meanwhile, cook minute rice and, when there is barely any water left, add chicken bouillon and parsley, then allow rice to absorsb remaining water. Put chopped onions in a small microwavable container and spray with two servings of Pam cooking spray. Cover container with a wet paper towel and microwave for 1.5 minutes on high. Strain veggies and mix in rice and onions!
