3 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Cooking oil (for coating)
Instructions
Clean the slow cooker basin thoroughly.
Apply a light coating of oil to the interior of the pot.
Place the chicken breast at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken.
Add the rice on top of the broth, ensuring grains are submerged.

Notes
You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs if you prefer extra moisture in the final dish. Ensure the rice is completely submerged in the broth before starting the cooking cycle to ensure even texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
