Ingredients

  • 1 package Minute Ready to Serve Brown Rice
  • 1 pound butternut squash diced into ½ inch chunks
  • 10 ounces white mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth
  • 5 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp grass-fed butter

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook butternut squash until tender. Drain and set aside.

  • Add rice and bone broth. Mix everything together, and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer on low-medium heat.
  • Simmer 5 minutes. Remove lid and break squash chunks up with a wooden spoon, so they blend in with the rice.
