Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs of chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup of long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups of chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of diced carrots
  • 1 cup of frozen peas
  • 2 tsp of dried thyme

Instructions

  • Start by rinsing your rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Chop the onions and garlic. Dice your carrots if they aren’t already.
  • In your slow cooker, layer the onions, garlic, and carrots. Pour in the washed rice and stir gently to combine.
  • Layer the chicken thighs on top of the rice and vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
  • Add the chicken broth, ensuring the rice is fully submerged. Keep some space around the edges for the steam to circulate.
  • Place the lid on your slow cooker. Cook on low for about 4-5 hours until the chicken is tender and the rice is cooked through.
