Food Town Chicken and Rice Crockpot

Prep Time:10 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ lbs Chicken Breasts
• 1 Cup Of White Rice
• 1 Cup Carrots (fresh or canned)
• ½ Cup Yellow Onion (chopped)
• 1 tbsp Mustard
• 1 tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 1 ½ tsp Garlic Powder
• 5 Cups Chicken Broth
• 1 Cup Canned Peas
• ½ Cup Greek Yogurt
• ½ Cup Cheddar Cheese

Directions:

1.  Rinse the rice several times to remove excess starch. In the meantime, bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil, then add the rice. Cook for 10 minutes, then drain.
2. Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add the rice, carrots, onions, and mustard, and stir to combine.
3.  Arrange the chicken breasts on top, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour 2 cups of chicken broth in. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
4.  Remove the chicken and place it on a plate, covering it to keep warm.
5.  Stir the rice, vegetables, and broth left in the slow cooker, then re-cover and continue cooking HIGH until the rice is tender, about an additional 1 hour.
6.  If the rice appears dry, add some of the remaining 1 cup of broth.
7. Uncover and stir in the peas and Greek yogurt. (If you would like it to be super creamy) Dice the chicken and mix it in with ¼ cup of cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top, then re-cover and cook for a few more minutes on HIGH until the cheese is melted.
8.  Serve warm.
