Expert Tips

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.

Garnish with fanned lime slices.

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!

This was a thumbs down from my family. The chicken had no flavor - it tasted boiled. I didn't even want to think about how I could change up the recipe to make it better. Won't cook this again.
