Yield: 8 Bowls
Calories: 434kcal
Cost: $13.25
Materials
- 3 Pounds Chicken Breast or Thighs
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 Teaspoons Minced Garlic
- ½ Onion Chopped (I like Red here)
- 1 ½ Cups Rice Brown (Best choice since it takes longer to cook) or White
- 21 Ounces Cream of Mushroom or Chicken (Low Sodium)
- 2 Cups Bone Broth or Water
- 1 Cup Cheese Parmesan or Shredded (I like a Cheddar Blend)
Instructions
- Take out your slow cooker
- Add your fat trimmed Chicken into the bottom of it
- Pour in the rest of your ingredients aside from your Cheese unless you're precooking your Rice
- Thoroughly mix everything together
- Put your lid on and let it cook on High Heat for 3-4 hours
- If it ever looks like your Rice is absorbing all your liquid, add in another 1/2 cup of Water or Bone Broth
- If you don't have time to stir it while it's cooking, try to at least give it a thorough mix 30 minutes before it's done. If you're choosing to add in precooked Rice instead of uncooked, this is the step you'd add that in!
- Once your Chicken reaches 165F/76C, turn it off
- Optionally shred your Chicken using 2 forks or a hand mixer (easy!) then stir in your Cheese until melted
- Let cool and portion it out
