healthy slow cooker chicken & brown rice
Ingredients
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup uncooked brown rice
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 2 cups frozen peas
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Grease the slow cooker insert (to help keep the rice from sticking). Put the chopped onions, garlic and chicken into the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken stock, rice and seasonings and microwave until just boiling... around 4-6 minutes, depending on your microwave!
- Pour the rice/broth mixture over the onions, garlic and chicken in the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and cook until they are just heated through.
- Serve warm with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top, if you'd like. So comforting!!
