1 15oz can corn

1 36oz can hominy

1 15oz can ranch style beans

1 10oz can tomatos and green chilies

2. Add the rest of the ingredients into the pot including all the liquid from the cans.

3. Heat and eat!

Chicken and Rice

This is one of my many "in the skillet" creations. I found that Rice a Roni has a small variety of pre-packaged rice that has no dairy ingredients, however always be sure to check before you buy or eat.

Ingredients:

2 boxes chicken flavor Rice a Roni

3 T. soy butter

5 c. water

1 large chicken breast

1 c. fresh or frozen cut carrots

1/2 c. fresh or frozen peas


1. In a large skillet, combine rice and soy butter. Saute over medium heat until rice is golden brown, stirring frequently.

2. Slowly stir in water, seasoning, chicken, carrots , and peas. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes until rice is cooked.
