Description

If you're looking for an easy and delicious gluten-free meal, this chicken and rice crockpot recipe is just what you need. Tender chicken and fluffy rice are slow-cooked in a savory, flavorful broth, making this dish both healthy and satisfying.

Prep Time

Preparation for this dish is minimal, taking only about 15 minutes to chop the vegetables and season the chicken. After that, it's just a matter of letting the crockpot do the work for you.

Cook Time

This recipe takes about 4-6 hours to cook on the low setting in the crockpot. The exact time may vary depending on your crockpot and the size of your chicken pieces.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups gluten-free chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  3. Transfer the vegetables to the crockpot and add the uncooked rice on top.
  4. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice and vegetables.
  5. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and rice.
  6. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and dried thyme over the chicken and rice.
  7. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  8. When the cooking time is up, remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir everything together.
  9. Let the chicken and rice sit in the crockpot for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • If you're short on time, you can skip step one and simply place the raw chicken breasts in the crockpot. However, browning the chicken first adds a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • If you're not gluten-free, you can use regular chicken broth instead of gluten-free chicken broth.
  • If you don't have dried thyme, you can use any other dried herbs you like, such as rosemary or oregano.
