How to Make Garlic Herb Chicken in Your Slow Cooker
As with most slow cooker or Crock-Pot recipes it this dinner is a simple dump stir and set-the-lid meal.
If you want to use the high-temperature setting for 4 hours I would thaw the chicken in the microwave so that you are not starting out with totally frozen chicken. But the process is the same.
You can also mix in some frozen vegetables during the last hour of cooking to make this a complete, one-pot meal.
I also use my Instant Pot to cook the brown rice when I have only 30 minutes before dinner. Again all you have to do is add all the ingredients and set the timer for 22 minutes for brown rice and 4 minutes for white rice. For brown rice I use 1 cup rice to 1 & 1/2 cups water. For white rice, I use one cup of rice to one cup of water.
