3 Minutes Prep, One Dish, 7 Ingredients = Dinner Delight

With the recent amazing weather who wants to come inside early to spend an hour cooking dinner? Not me and defiantly not my boys. The following recipe is one that I make in minutes, makes a generous amount and all of it, even the leftovers, are gobbled up! Tip: Double it and freeze some for lunches!

Chicken, Shrimp and Rice

• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups water with 1 chicken bouillon cube or 2 cups chicken stock
• 6 chicken thighs, bone in
• 6-8 large shrimp, peeled
• 1 Tbsp taco seasoning
• 1/2 Tbsp jerk seasoning
• salt and pepper, to taste

* Preheat oven to 350
* Put all the above ingredients in a Pyrex baking dish (8.5x 8.5 is probably easiest), then stir
* Cover with tin foil and cook for approximately half an hour. Stir the ingredients about 3 times through out the cooking process to ensure even cooking. You may need to add slightly more water if it is evaporating before the rice is cooked. The end result should be a fairly moist rice, but not soupy
* Turn up for 10-14 minutes to 400 to ensure everything is cooked and most of the excess liquid is absorbed. Oven temperatures very so this is a general time.


Serve with a salad and a vegetable(s) on the side and enjoy...now wasn't that easy!!
