This is a quick and easy thing to do with leftover chicken or turkey.
- 1 cup brown rice (I use short grain brown)
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp salt
In a covered saucepan, simmer the rice in the chicken stock with salt until all the water has been absorbed.
- 2T butter or coconut oil
- 2T unbleached flour
- about 2/3c coconut milk (I eyeballed it)
- about 2/3c chicken or turkey stock (I eyeballed it)
- salt
- pepper
- leftover chicken or turkey, chopped
In a sauce pan, melt butter. Add flour and wisk until combined. Let simmer for about 1 minute. Wisk in stock and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Stir into rice and add chicken or turkey. Season to taste. A nice addition might be some cyan other spice, but for kids, simple is best.
