Description
Slow Cooker Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice is my go-to for a comforting yet elegant dinner. Tender chicken, zesty lemon, and fragrant herbs pair perfectly with fluffy rice.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup long-grain rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 lemon, juiced and zested
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. In the slow cooker, combine rice, chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
2. Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
4. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the chicken over the rice, garnished with fresh parsley.
