Steps:
- Turn a slow cooker to High. Combine chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, garlic powder, and cayenne in the bottom of the cooker until mixture heats through, about 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place in the hot skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Turn slow cooker to Low and add rice, carrots, and chicken. Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

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.

JUICY CROCK POT GARLIC CHICKEN WITH WILD RICE
This is probably an adaptation from a Betty Crocker casserole recipe. I love the garlic punch and the hearty wild rice flavor. Also, since rice has a tendency to turn to sludge in the slow cooker, wild rice is a great alternative because it is so much more firm and doesn't squish. The original called for bone-in/skin pieces, but that made the whole thing beyond tender and juicy--more like mushy. My family loves this, and I love how easy it is to make it for them. *EDIT: Some cooks are finding that the rice gets too mushy; I recently tried adding the rice to the crock pot about 30 minutes before serving. This keeps the rice more firm. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you use bone-in chicken, you'll need to increase the cooking time.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice gives the chicken and rice a brighter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the crock pot: If you're using a small crock pot, you may need to cook the chicken and rice in batches. Overcrowding the crock pot will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Lemon garlic chicken and wild rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the wild rice is nutty and satisfying. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
