- Add the uncooked oats to the bacon and toast for 1-2 minutes tossing now and then until they just start to brown. You should smell the oats toasting.¼ cup Old Fashioned oats
- Add the broth and cook until the oats soak most of it up.¾ chicken broth/stock
- Stir in the cooked chicken and cook for another minute to bring them up to temperature.4 oz cooked chicken, dried thyme
Notes
- I've made this water, canned broth, and homemade bone broth. They are all good but the bone broth was my favorite. It would also be yummy with milk or almond milk.
- I've used leftover cooked chicken and store-bought grill chicken strips. Both work great!
- If you want to lower the calories and fat a little more you could use turkey bacon. I tried it but honestly, that one slice of bacon adds so much flavor it's worth it to me.
