Bone-in chicken works best in slow cookers. The bones help keep the chicken in one piece during the long cooking time.

Serve with a tossed green salad or steamed fresh vegetables.

Really good.. I used boneless skinless breast instead of the thighs.. very tender and juicy but I didn't have instant rice.. i tried to use brown rice.. NOPE don't do it! Terrible idea. next time I'm just going to make the rice and then add it to juices. But, good flavor and juicyyyy. :)

The texture of the chicken was good. (I used boneless thighs.) The rice was soupy. The flavor was a little blah for me.

YUMMMM!! I used chicken breast instead of thighs, I actually liked that it fell apart into somewhat shredded texture. Everyone loved it. It was light, yet filling. However, next time, I will probably double it. Didn't really get 6 servings out of it. And a little more flavor to the chicken wouldn't hurt, but the fall apart texture of the chicken went well with the flavorful rice getting spoonfuls of chicken and rice!
