Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, or thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 64 ounces reduced-sodium chicken stock or broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 chicken breasts, 1lb chicken meat*

Instructions

  • Combine the veggies, chicken, seasonings, broth, or stock, and water in the dish of your slow cooker dish. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours. 
  • Remove the lid, take out the cooked chicken breasts onto a plate and shred them with two forks. Return the shredded meat back into the slow cooker.
  • Add the rice. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked. Serve.
