Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 3 cups water

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 4 pounds boneless chicken thighs, chopped

  • 1 pound frozen cut green beans

  • ¼ cup liquid aminos (such as Bragg)

Directions

  1. Pour water and oats into a rice cooker. Seal and select setting according to the manufacturer's instructions; cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Pull out the pot as soon as the unit switches to the Warm setting. Set aside.

  2. Heat oil over high heat in a large frying pan or wok. Add chicken, cover, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring every minute. Add green beans, cover, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring every minute. Stir in aminos and break up mixture using a spatula. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. Stir in cooked oatmeal and break up again using a spatula. Remove from the heat and let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes. Package in desired portions for freezing.

Tips

Prepare oats according to the individual package instructions.

You can use fresh green beans instead of frozen and ground chicken thighs instead of chopped.
