Faux Chicken and Rice

1 Bag of Morning Star* brand "Chicken Strips"
1 chopped onion
Brown together in a non-stick skillet til onion is tender.

1 cup of basmati rice
2 cups of water (I used half mushroom broth and half water)

Dump all of the "chicken" and the onion into the pot with the rice and water and throw in a few green peas, carrots and other veggies (celery would probably be good if you like it.)

Cook til the rice is fluffy. We added just a little sea salt to our portions on our plates.

The aroma reminded me of Thanksgiving while it was cooking. I had a little cranberry sauce on the side. It was delicious!

*The chicken strips have expeller pressed canola oil as the very last ingredient on the list. It seems pretty negligible to me and since we don't have heart disease, we enjoy these. :)
