Easy Chicken and Rice Meal in a Jar
A meal in a jar is a prepared meal consisting of dried and freeze-dried ingredients that you can store in your pantry. When you’re ready to use the meal in a jar, you just pour it into a pot with water and cook it.
Equipment
- 1 2-quart canning jar
Ingredients
- 4 cups Instant Rice
- 1 packet Lipton Dry Onion Soup Mix
- 1 tbsp Dehydrated Onion
- 1 1/2 tbsps Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Freeze-Dried Chicken
Instructions
- Layer ingredients into a 2-quart mason jar. If you’re making a gift, you can use smaller layers for aesthetic reasons to create more texture and color. But if you’re making it for long term storage you can just pour the ingredients in one at a time.
- Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning on top to make it pretty.
- Add an oxygen absorber and seal tightly or vacuum pack, if possible.
- Label your jar with the date packed, ingredients, and recipe name.
- Add cooking directions to label on jar: Boil 5 cups of water. Mix contents into water and cover for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
