CROCK POT LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN WITH WILD RICE



Crock Pot Lemon Garlic Chicken With Wild Rice image

I think this originally came from a cooking show, but I changed it to suit my taste, by adding more lemon juice & more garlic. Also the recipe just says chicken breasts, but I have also used skinless chicken pieces.

Provided by MrsSPheonix

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 8h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, lightly pounded (I have read in some crock pot recipes that people start with frozen meat to keep it tender. I haven')
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
10 garlic cloves, smashed
1 cup wild rice
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • (I use more pepper than salt, but that's my preference).
  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Add the garlic and rice.
  • Add the lemon juice to the water and stir.
  • Pour this mixture over the rice and chicken.
  • Stir once to coat.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and set on low for 8 hours.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cut of chicken is essential for this recipe. Chicken breasts or thighs work well, but you can also use a whole chicken cut into pieces. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • The lemon-herb sauce is what makes this dish so flavorful. Be sure to use fresh lemons and herbs for the best results. You can also add other seasonings to the sauce, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • If you don't have a crock pot, you can also make this recipe in a Dutch oven over low heat. Just be sure to stir the chicken and sauce occasionally so that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the chicken and rice with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Crock Pot Lemon Chicken with Rice is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the lemon-herb sauce is packed with flavor. The rice is cooked to perfection, and it absorbs all of the delicious sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
