VAL'S 4Patriots CREAMY RICE & VEGETABLE SUPPER w-CHICKEN Recipe; Ocean Park-WA

My husband really liked this quick made meal 😊👍

Val's 4Patriots Creamy Rice & Vegetable Supper With Chicken

Tonight's supper was based on a reliable old-fashioned "comfort food" meal 😘

I used ready, simple ingredients: frozen & thawed pre-cooked chicken - and didn't have to spice the dish up, because the cooked meat had already been sufficiently "flavored":

Leftover chicken in the freezer is so convenient to have it on hand for recipes such as this one. And a 4Patriots dry supper mix that already had the rice, basic flavoring (you can add more flavoring to suit your taste), and sauce base in it - what these food packets lack by way of tasty flavor, they do make up with creamy texture.

4Patriots Survival Meal packets take up little storage space, and are light weight.

Onion, celery, carrots & peas, was an easy veggie combination for this recipe; and added colorful eye appeal, as well as tastiness. And because my new husband grew up on Southern cooking loaded with lots of butter, I always add at least some butter to our meals - but I am allergic to milk, so I cook with half butter/half margarine in recipes: that way, both our tastes are satiated 👌
