How to Make Oatmeal Savory And Comforting

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon curry powder (optional) or your favorite herbs (such as 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives) during the last minute of cooking.
  5. If adding cooked chicken, stir in 1/4 cup chopped cooked chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  6. Serve warm as a bowl. For patties, allow the oatmeal to cool slightly before forming into 4-6 patties.
  7. To cook patties, heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 3 minutes per side, or until heated through and lightly browned.
  8. Serve the oatmeal bowl or patties as a satisfying side dish or light meal.
