An Easy & Delicious Monday Night Dinner!

Sometimes after the weekend it is hard to get in sync with making dinner for the family. My Oster "Rice Cooker" can also be used to cook many "One Pot " dinners! Experiment with your rice cooker and see how easy a homecooked meal can be! Grab whatever salad dressing you might have around and some spices (I used lemon-pepper) Without really measuring, dump about 1/2 cup of the dressing and maybe 2 tbl. of the spice into the cooker bowl.
Empty a bag of red, yellow and green frozen peppers into the cooker bowl too.Now add two cups of rice and 2 1/2 cups of water.
Finally add 10-12 frozen chicken tenders right out of the bag and stir it all up. That's all there is to it. Turn on the rice cooker and let it do it's work. It will automatically turn off when your meal is ready (about 30 mins.)
Voila...an instant dinner!
Of course you can use whatever kind of rice you want and any veggies you have on hand. It is so easy and quick. The variations are endless. You can leave out the salad dressing completely or add soy sauce or any other seasoning sauce.





My family loved it...and there always seems to be enough for that surprise guest that might show up at the door. Tonight it was my older daughter, Shannon! Bon Appetit!
