It could not be simpler to put together, especially when there is not a lot of extra time to prepare for dinner. I use instant rice in this recipe because it is so easy to cook — just throw it in the crockpot once chicken cooked and tender and soft in no time
I added carrots, peas, and red bell pepper (because their flavors add amazing!), but you can also add celery, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini or whatever your family enjoys. Just keep in mind that some of the vegetables will cook faster than others and you want to add them at the right time.
I want to add most of the vegetables in this chicken and rice recipe so I'll feel good about serving as a stand-alone meal for kids. Brown rice with vegetables makes it a little extra crockpot chicken and rice recipe are healthy!
