Set it & forget it: Chicken & Rice

chicken rice

So, Texas is in a deep freeze. I did not move here for deep freezes, I moved here to avoid them. And yet, here we are. On top of that, hubs and I went GOLFING on Sunday when it was 35 degrees out. Luckily, I put something in the crock pot before hand so we would have something warm to heat up our tummies after!

This is a little spicy, but you can control that. It also doesn’t come out with a soup consistency, because the rice soaks up the broth. However, it does make for a yummy bowl of rice & chicken that cooks while you’re on the golf course (or anywhere for four hours, really).
