Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup long-grain brown rice
1 1/2 cups diced carrots (about 4 medium)
1 small shallot
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 1/2-3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese (divided (I love white cheddar for this))
Chopped fresh parsley (optional for serving)

Steps:

  • Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add the rice, carrots, shallot, and Dijon mustard, and stir to combine. Arrange the chicken breasts on top, then sprinkle with the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Stir the rice, vegetables, and broth, then re-cover and continue cooking on high until the rice is tender, about 1 additional hour.**
  • Uncover and stir in the peas and Greek yogurt. Dice the chicken and stir it in with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, then re-cover and cook for a few additional minutes on high until the cheese is melted. Serve warm, sprinkled with fresh parsley as desired.

12 chicken tenders
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups long grain brown rice
1 tablespoon whole thyme, crushed
salt and pepper
broccoli floret (optional)

  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces: This will help the chicken cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken with your favorite herbs and spices: This will add flavor to the dish.
  • Use a good quality rice: This will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: This will remove any excess starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Add enough liquid to the crock pot: The liquid should come up to the top of the rice.
  • Cook the chicken and rice on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of crock pot you are using.
  • Serve the chicken and rice with your favorite sides: Some popular sides include steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
