Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup long grained brown rice
  • 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
  • 1/3 cup pesto
  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instruction

  • In a microwave safe dish, stir together the onion, butter, garlic, rice and 1/2 cup broth.
  • Microwave for 4 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds.
  • Transfer to a greased slow cooker.
  • Stir in the remaining 3 cups of broth and the pesto. Nestle the chicken into the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for about 3 hours.  (mine took exactly 3 hours…yours may take more or less depending on your slow cooker)
  • Stir and break up chicken with a spoon. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately (this tastes best served right away, it doesn’t hold up very well on the warm setting)
