FIESTA CHICKEN WITH BARLEY AND BROWN RICE (CROCK POT)
I came up with this when I couldn't decide between chicken cacciatore or something more Tex-Mex. I also wanted a "real" meal without having to work too hard at it. We really enjoyed this. Other cuts of chicken can be used, although I recommend staying away from boneless skinless breasts because I think they tend to dry out in a slow cooker. Since every one's crock pots heat differently and grains can be tricky to cook in a CP, you may have to fool a little bit with the timing on the rice and barley. You could also make that separately and just add it in at serving time. Cooked the way I did it, it almost had a risotto-like texture to it.

Steps:
- 1. Mix rice and 3 cans soup, dry onion soup and 1 soup can water well in a large bowl.
- 2. Pour just enough rice/soup mix to cover bottom of your crock pot. I used my 5 qt pot for this recipe. Scatter chicken pieces over this in one layer.
- 3. Repeat creating layer of rice/soup mix and then layer of chicken pieces til all done. I try to wind up with last layer going into crock pot being some rice/soup.
- 4. Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours. STIR WELL @ EVERY 60-90 MINUTES TO PREVENT RICE FROM STICKING TO BOTTOM OF CROCK POT.
Tips:
- For a creamier sauce, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream or sour cream to the slow cooker along with the chicken and rice.
- To make the dish more flavorful, add a tablespoon of minced garlic, a teaspoon of dried oregano, and a teaspoon of salt to the slow cooker along with the chicken and rice.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook the chicken and rice in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
- Serve the chicken and rice with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a salad, or steamed broccoli.
Conclusion:
Crock-Pot Chicken and Brown Rice is an easy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or a lazy weekend lunch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a healthy and flavorful meal that everyone will love.
