  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Rice, Healthy Recipes, Chicken, Main Dish

 Ingredients List

  • 1/2 cup long grain brown rice (this is not the quick type of rice)
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large potato, cut into 1" cubes
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 yellow or sweet onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt, more or less to taste
  • 2 fresh sprigs thyme, stems removed
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast....about two breast filets, cut into 1" pieces
  • 4 cups chicken broth, low sodium, fat free
  • 1 cup milk (I used 1%, skim is not recommended for this recipe)
  • 1 tablespoons cornstarch

 Directions

Note: If you prefer a more subtle onion flavor, saute diced onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add to slow cooker.

Add all ingredients, except milk and cornstarch, to slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until chicken is cooked and carrots and rice are tender.

Before turning off the slow cooker, whisk together milk and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl, add to slow cooker and stir. Cover, and continue cooking until soup has thickened, about 10 minutes.
