Recipe: Chicken and Pintos

So, last night's dinner was my own creation. Another Lazy Mom Recipe!

And as I was falling asleep last night I realized, you know what? I think I did this last Thursday, as well. SO I am kind of starting my own trend. Kind of!

Mom's Chicken and Pintos

Ingredients:

* 1 roast chicken (doesn't have to be the entire chicken)
* 1 can pinto beans (drained)
* frozen corn
* 1/2 can chicken broth
* 1/2 can (see above) water
* 1 package of ready-made rice

Shred chicken [I used garlic seasoned].
Drain can of pinto beans and empty into crockpot over shredded chicken.
Add frozen corn (or other veggie(s) - this is a flexible recipe).

I didn't have chicken broth, or I would have put in about a cup of that, but I grabbed a can of generic chicken and stars soup, used about 1/2 the can, then added about 1/2 the same can of water to the mix.
Cook on low for 4 hours (possibly less) and serve over/with ready-made rice. I used the Rice Pilaf from Uncle Ben's with Orzo in it. I think the orzo gives it a little more texture.

Throw a pack of crescent rolls into the oven and about 8 minutes later you have yourself a complete meal! And this time I made the Great Value brand of crescent rolls, and they're delicious! The biscuits, not so much, but these were great. Maybe (gasp!) even better (gasp!) than Pillsbury! (GASP!)

Enjoy!
