Description
A delicious slow cooker dish featuring tender chicken and fluffy rice infused with bright lemon flavors.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 lemons, juiced and zested
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups white rice
- 4 cups water or additional chicken broth
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine the chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker and coat them with the mixture.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, prepare the fluffy rice. In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until cooked, about 18-20 minutes.
- Once the chicken is done, shred or slice it and serve it over the fluffy rice.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
Notes
Feel free to substitute chicken thighs for a juicier, more forgiving option. Customize with your choice of herbs and rice.
