One-pot chicken and rice

An easy family meal in one pot. And, it's a money saver too costing under $20!

Cooking directions

• Cut chicken into pieces.
• Heat oil in large saucepan. Add chicken pieces. Cook for a minute or two until brown.
• Add onion, garlic, spices and rice. Cook for another minute or two.
• Add canned tomatoes, water and carrots.
• Cover and simmer on a low heat for around 20 minutes. Stir regularly so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
• Add frozen peas and corn.  Cook for another 5 minutes.
• Serve with green salad, winter slaw or steamed broccoli.

Try:

• Using any combination of vegetables you have on hand - fresh, frozen or canned.
