Total time: 15 min • Prep: 10 min • Cook: 5 min • Serves: 1 • Difficulty: Easy
Change up your midday grain bowl by using oatmeal as the base. You probably have it in your pantry already, it cooks up in a flash, and it pairs well with any topping you can think of. Here, we cook the oats in the microwave (at reduced power to keep them from boiling over) in vegetable broth for a savory boost, then top them with rotisserie chicken breast, pinto beans, corn, salsa, cheese, and avocado. It’s like nachos, but in a creamy, more cozy form.
