A bright, herb-infused one-pot chicken and rice dish made in the slow cooker with lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs. Easy, cozy, and naturally gluten-free.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)

  • 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • ½ tsp dried rosemary

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Optional: Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until fragrant.

  2. In slow cooker, add rice, sautéed aromatics, broth, lemon juice and zest, herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir.

  3. Place chicken on top. Season lightly.

  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 1½–2½ hours.

  5. Remove chicken, fluff rice, return chicken. Adjust seasoning.

Notes

Add frozen peas or spinach in final 30 mins. Use brown rice for more fiber (increase broth and cook time). Keeps well for meal prep.
