This is the very first meal I have made in my slow cooker and I can tell you that I will be doing it a lot from now on. I love it! I never used it before because I thought it would be hard (it's not) and I didn't know how to do it. That is changed now and it is so easy! I wake up, have breakfast, put everything in and turn it on, do homework and whatever else all day and by the time Greg gets home from work, ta-da! Dinner! It has been the best thing.
I found this recipe on pinterest and it turned out so well and made me love my slow cooker. I wanted to do more with it but I didn't have any recipes so I have been asking everyone for them. Then last night I looked in my cookbook cupboard and what do you know! I have a cookbook titled "Slow-Cooker and One-Dish Recipes" that we got for our wedding. I was so excited to find it. There is some great stuff in there that I will be making.
Anyways, I guess the point of this story is that slow cookers make life easy and food delicious and tender. I am a fan.
Now here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 c. chicken broth
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 c. brown rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
3-4 chicken breast halves
Directions:
- Whisk the can of cream of chicken soup in with the chicken broth, poultry seasoning, and pepper.
- Grease the inside of the slow cooker and add the brown rice and onion.
- Pour most of the soup mixture over the rice; reserve about 1/2 cup.
- Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice and pour the rest of the soup over it.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours.
A good side for this is asparagus. I prepared it by seasoning it with garlic powder and sauteing 2 inch sections in olive oil until it turns bright green (this means it's done) and is tender. It is quick and delicious. I encourage all of you to try this recipe. It is so good!
