Expert Tips

Bone-in chicken works best in slow cookers. The bones help keep the chicken in one piece during the long cooking time.

Serve with a tossed green salad or steamed fresh vegetables.

This is a delicious and economical recipe besides being pretty easy. Instead of instant rice parboil a cup of uncooked long grain white rice. Boil the rice for 10 minutes in 2 cups of the chicken broth. Immediately add to slow cooker. Or completely finish the rice then add to slow cooker. Rice made on the stovetop (1 cup rice, 2 cups water or broth) is simple. Bring to a hard boil then cover pot and turn the fire down to very low. 20 minutes after covering rice it will be done just right. Do not uncover while rice is cooking.
