Description

Keep your kitchen cool with this effortless, nourishing one-pot meal. Perfect for busy summer days, this recipe combines tender chicken breast, fluffy long-grain rice, and a colorful mix of vegetables, all slow-cooked in a savory broth for maximum flavor with minimal active effort. It is a hearty, balanced dish that delivers comfort without the need for an oven or stovetop.


Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs Chicken Breast
1 cup Long Grain Rice
2 cups Mixed Vegetables (peas, corn, and carrots)
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.
Add the mixed vegetables over the top layer of rice.
Secure the lid tightly on the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.

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.
