Description
A bright and comforting one-pot meal featuring tender chicken, flavored rice, and sweet peas, perfect for a hands-off cooking experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine the chicken, rice, chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Stir to combine so the rice lies evenly under and around the chicken and the seasonings distribute through the liquid.
- Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas so they heat through but stay bright.
- Once done, shred the chicken in the slow cooker and mix well with the rice. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use long-grain rice and ensure liquid measurements are accurate to avoid mushy rice. Keep the lid closed during cooking for best results.
