FAQ
Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Yes! Brown the chicken first, then add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours.
Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
Absolutely! Use the same method, but cook for 10–15 minutes longer and check the liquid levels.
