SLOW COOKER ARROZ CON POLLO
This was Great... would suggest to toss the rice in last after chicken has been cooking a while... I prefer not so mushy rice! To each his own... if you prefer mushy rice put it all together. I also omit the peas (peas are yucky-lol :).

Tips:

- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you're using a small slow cooker, you may need to cook the chicken in batches.
- Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and tender.
- Add the rice and vegetables during the last hour of cooking. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the arroz con pollo with your favorite sides, such as black beans, corn, or avocado slices.
