Thai Meal In a Minute

I needed something quick to cook for dinner one evening and this dish is what I came up with using leftover chicken breast and steamed green beans.  Even if you have to sautée the chicken and steam your green beans just for this recipe it is worth the effort, especially if you like Thai green curry.  You can also substitute the Minute Rice for Jasmine Rice, the hallmark rice of Thailand.


Minute Rice with Thai Green Curry

Measure 1 cup Minute Rice, (or cooked Jasmine Rice) and set aside, measure 1 cup Organic Chicken Broth and bring to a boil.
Add to the boiling broth;  1 cup Minute Rice, 1 Tablespoon of Thai Kitchen Green Curry, 1 cup of lightly steamed green beans, 1 cup leftover cooked chicken.
Sprinkle about a tablespoon of Lemon Grass stirring everything together turning off the heat, and put on the lid.  Let this sit for about 10 minutes or enough time for the rice to absorb the chicken broth.

Right before serving squeeze half a lime over the rice and blend.  Garnish with fresh chopped basil.

Bon Appetit!  :D
