Okay, so this is something I wouldn't normally choose to eat on my own doing, but I am trying to be adventurous. Seems it is pretty much just chicken, rice, veggies and spices I thought it can't be that bad. This newest food I have never cooked with but will today is turmeric. (Hubby may correct me, but to the best of my knowledge I have never cooked with it).
This is a lighter recipe (7 points plus per serving) and this recipe makes 4 servings. I have already prepared it and am just waiting for dinner time to try it. It is as easy as throwing everything in the crock pot, turning it on and going about your day. In this particular recipe though, I will have to cook the rice at some point during the day and add it in ONLY for the last 15 minutes along with the frozen peas. This is an excellent idea as some of these crock pot recipes have created some pretty mushy rice. Come back later for an update on how it went.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken thighs, (4 4 oz thighs)
2 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 medium uncooked onion, chopped
1 medium uncooked bell pepper, chopped (I used 1 red pepper and 1/2 yellow pepper)
1/2 cup canned chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/3 cup frozen green peas
2 cups cooked white rice
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all ingredients (EXCEPT PEAS AND RICE) in crock pot (at least 4 quarts in size). Cover and cook on low for 5 hours (my particular crock pot cooks hot so I am doing 4 hours).
Add peas and rice; cook uncovered until peas are tender (about 15 minutes). Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving (includes 1 chicken thigh per serving)
ENJOY!
