We love to travel! I want my children to see the world. So I have mastered making meals in the hotel room. This saves so much money and allows me to say yes to all the "Mom can we...." request of my children.
Look at what one of the "Mom can we go to the arcade" did for our sweet daughter tonight. #momwin
I love making this chicken, beans and rice bowl. Everything is shelf stable, Praise the Lord, for not having to keep it cold while on the go. I bring my Instant pot on the journey with us when we are driving to the destination. If we are flying this will go in the checked luggage and I'll use a pot at the air bnb or hotel kichenette. You can always order the ingredients with grocery pick up now a days too.
Chicken, beans and rice bowl THM E
Ingredients:
2 Cups of Brown Rice
2 cups of water
2 cans of chicken breast
1 can of black beans- drained and rinsed
1 can of diced tomatoes- drained
1 can of rotel
Instructions:
1. Cook rice in instant pot ( 2 cups of rice and water) bring to pressure for 22 minutes, slow release for 10 minutes.
2. Add the rest of the ingrediants, bring to pressure for 3-5 minutes to heat everything up
3. Enjoy over lettuce, in a bowl or use baked tostitos chips to dip.
This is a THM E meal. Be mindful that 45 net carbs is the highest amount of carbs to enjoy on an E meal while staying in weight loss mode. I don't bring or add any seasoning as this is a drive thru sue special and saved us from the pizza Great Wolf Lodge had floating around. This serves 6- 8 people. Feel free to add more beans and tomatoes as fillers.
Bonus Tips:
When I'm really in a pinch, I use the microwave bags for brown rice or even cauliflower rice. At home I will make this with half frozen cauliflower rice and 1/2 brown rice to make it lighter on the carbs. When we came to our room from the water park for lunch I made the rice, so when it came time to make dinner it was dump, heat and serve within 10 minutes.
