Ingredients
Chicken and Vegetables
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
Grains and Liquids
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Chop the onion and measure out all ingredients for easy assembly.
- Assemble in Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts and chopped onion into the crockpot. Add the rice and chicken broth on top, then gently stir to combine everything evenly.
- Slow Cook: Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and the rice to absorb the broth and cook fully.
- Add Peas: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas to the crockpot and stir them in to heat through.
- Finish and Serve: Once done, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and serve the chicken and rice hot.
Notes
- For best results, use long grain white rice, as it cooks well in a crockpot.
- Do not open the crockpot lid frequently, as this releases heat and can increase cooking time.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for juicier meat, adjusting cooking time slightly if needed.
- If you prefer, add your favorite herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
- This recipe serves well as leftovers and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
