1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken / white beans

4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/3 cup green pepper (I just use any veg on hand)
3 cups cooked rice
1/4 cup melted butter

Oat bake We eat a lot of porridge for breakfast (cereal is expensive, sugary, not very filling and can be hard to find). But I do prefer not having to make it in busy mornings getting ready for school etc. So my preferred breakfast is oatbake which I can make in a few minutes the night before and then just put it in the oven in the morning.
2 cups oats
1/3 cup brown sugar (I leave this out)
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups milk
1 cup banana/ apple sauce/ pureed dried fruit
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
(I double this amount for the 6 of us)
Mix it all together and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes in a casserole dish.
