Shredded Chicken Minestrone Served Over Yummy Organic Brown Rice

Recipe Tonight: Shredded Chicken Minestrone Served Over Yummy Organic Brown Rice

(made from last night, I usually cook at least 1 & 1/2

to 2 cups of any rice at a time to reserve for later.) Also I must say that brown rice, from my first blog, was a hit with Sumit and Mikai not to mention full of heart healthy vitamins, minerals, proteins and fatty acids that keep them fuller, longer.

Ingredients:

Organic Brown Rice (leftover from last night)

1 can Minestrone Soup (mine's from Costco)

1 can shredded chicken (Costco)

healthy tbs Olive Oil and slab of butter

garlic, salt, pepper, Tabasco

Monday night.... we meet again. It's a really busy day all the way around and I have just officially sat down to eat. Thought I'd share this quickly!

First I:

Start with my oil and butter in a small saucepan. Slowly simmering I start to build flavors with Garlic, Salt, Pepper, Tabasco. This can be cooked for a long while just bubbling away before adding the can of soup. Start slowly and add seasoning along the way if necessary. I add whatever is on hand at any given time so be creative! Just add chicken for about 20-30 minutes, everything is fully cooked and is ready after heated through but I always like it pipin' hot :o)

Meanwhile I:

Am starting my blog, watching Mikai pack his lunch (what a great kid), pack my lunch and clean up kitchen/living room/sign off homework. I swear I don't know how people do it with more than 1 child... but I'm taking time to realize just how fortunate I am and give a little Amen to the man upstairs. (back to dinner 25 minutes later....)

Then I:

Just zap some brown rice and melt shredded cheese, just before serving your Shredded Chicken Minestrone over top of rice... dallop of sour cream and it's done!!

Hope you enjoy reading, I'll try and bring some to share at work tomorrow.... if there's any left :o)

Love, Ashley
