EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Chicken thighs are a good choice for the slow cooker because the long slow-cooking process results in tender, juicy meat.

The flavor will be richer if you use chicken broth instead of water.

Serve with a light side salad or fruit and hot Pillsbury crescent rolls.

I made this recipe yesterday, after having the stomach flu and needing to get nourished gently. I modified it a little w/ 1 chopped onion, 2 lbs of boneless/skinless chix, 1 pkg frozen carrot coins & 1 can each: Cr of mushroom, Cr of chix, 1 can peas, a pinch of salt,& garlic powder, & 1 13 oz can mushrooms. I made my rice separate, 2 cups dry made a med pot full that iadded at the end along with the peas. It was a hit here in the house, and it made a large crockpot full. Nice having leftovers when still recoverIng. Next day I added a can of chicken. Broth to the leftovers so it was moist.

Made this yesterday. I don't like rice or frozen peas. To my surprise it was good. I did add salt and pepper, and used chicken broth instead of water. Next time I will add some spices from spice rack. Will make again.

I make this about once a month. However, I use dark meat chicken or turkey leg meat, homemade (prefrozen) chicken broth and long grain/wild rice mix. I also like to add garlic and onion. It is great.

I thought that this was very easy to make. I used turkey instead of chicken. I seasoned the turkey with salt and pepper which added more flavor. I also used chicken broth instead of water and brown rice instead of white rice. My picky eater loved it.

Not good at all! Absolutely no flavor as written and didn't improve much even though we seasoned it up quite a bit, and added a can of chicken broth. I didn't even save the leftovers, we threw them away - something I never do. But I just couldn't imagine eating it again.
