To Serve

  • 4 cups hot cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill weed

Steps

    In large bowl, mix tomatoes, paprika, salt and garlic. Add chicken, bell peppers and onion; mix well. Divide evenly between two labeled 1-gallon freezer bags. Lay flat, and freeze up to 3 months.

    Thaw 12 to 24 hours in refrigerator, until completely thawed.
  • 3
    Pour contents of bags into 4 1/2-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 4 to 5 hours.

    Divide rice among 8 bowls. Divide chicken mixture among bowls of rice. Top each bowl with 1 tablespoon sour cream and 3/4 teaspoon dill.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Like it hot? Substitute a teaspoon of hot Hungarian paprika for some of the smoked paprika.
  • tip 2
    While a rice cooker makes quick work of a starchy side for this dish, you can skip a step by using frozen cooked rice.
