CROCK POT CHICKEN RICE RECIPES

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a crock pot with cooking spray then place chicken in the bottom.
• Cut butter into 6-8 pieces then arrange on top of chicken.
• Combine broth, soup, salt and remaining seasoning in a mixing bowl then stir until smooth. Pour over chicken.
• Cook on High for 3 hours or Low for 6 hours.
• If chicken was cooked on Low, increase temperature to High. Keep crock pot covered at all times to keep heat in. The rice cooks best when starting with HOT liquids.
• Remove chicken from crock pot then shred with two forks. Add chicken and uncooked rice to crock pot then cook on High for 45 minutes.
• Using a fork, stir rice, scraping the bottom and sides of the crock pot, once every 15 minutes. DO NOT over-stir the rice or it will break down and become gummy. Do not open the crock pot more than necessary.
• Check the rice after 45 minutes. My crock pot will cook rice in 45 minutes but all crock pots are different. Continue cooking for 15-20 minutes longer if needed until rice is tender.
• When ready to serve, stir once more with fork to fluff the rice. Serve with hot sauce if desired.

Steps:

• Combine beans, onion, chili peppers, corn, tomato sauce, diced tomato, cumin, chili powder and taco seasoning in a slow cooker and mix well.
• Nestle the chicken in to completely cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours.
• Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred.
• Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in.
• Top with fresh cilantro and your favorite toppings!
