Curried Brown Rice with Chicken and Cashews

As dedicated hikers and backpackers will tell you, nothing tastes quite as good as a hot curry-based meal in the great outdoors.

Servings: 2

Total Time: 12mins

Ingredients:

• ⅔ cup instant brown rice
• 1 tsp ground flaxseed
• ¼ cup freeze dried-chopped chicken
• ¼ cup roasted cashews (chopped)
• ¼ cup freeze-dried mixed vegetables
• 1 tsp dried onion flakes
• 1 ½ tsp powdered chicken flavor base
• 1½ tsp curry powder
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1½ cups water

Directions:

While at home, in a large ziplock bag, combine the brown rice with the flaxseed, chopped chicken, cashews, mixed veggies, onion flakes, chicken base, curry powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Double bag the ingredients to prevent the curry from infiltrating other items in your purse or backpack.

Outside your home, bring the water to boil.

Open the bag, and with the bag resting on a bowl or plate, pour in the boiling water.

Seal the ziplock bag, and allow to soak for 8-10 minutes. Turn the ziplock bag upside down after 3-4 minutes to redistribute the ingredients.

Open the bag, share and enjoy.
