Roots 'n Rice

chicken pieces for stewing            1/2 cup butter
or 3 cans cooked chicken         1 cup shredded carrots
2 cups chopped onion               4 cloves minced garlic
Soy Sauce to taste                 Brown Minute Rice (4 servings)
pkg. fresh mushrooms, sliced or 1 large can mushrooms

If stewing the chicken yourself, put in large pot of salted water and cook about 1 hour.  Remove skin and bones  and cut into bite sized pieces. Save enough of the water you cooked the chicken in to make the rice. Put aside. Melt butter in large frying pan. Add carrots, mushrooms, onions and garlic, mix well. Simmer over medium heat until onions are transparent. Add chicken bits, stirring carefully to prevent meat from shredding. Cover and set aside. Make rice according to instructions on the box. Mix all together and add soy sauce to taste.    Serves 4-6

My sister got this recipe from someone at work and passed it along to me. We adjusted the amount of spices according to our own tastes, added the mushrooms and due to the ingredients, gave it a new name. The best thing about it is that you can make the chicken from scratch, per the recipe, or use canned or leftover chicken. It is also just as good cold as it is hot and reheats easily in the microwave. Pumpernickle is a perfect bread accompaniment.
