Best Creamy Low Fat Chicken And Brown Rice Recipes

CROCK POT CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add the rice, carrots, shallot, and Dijon mustard, and stir to combine. Arrange the chicken breasts on top, then sprinkle with the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Stir the rice, vegetables, and broth, then re-cover and continue cooking on high until the rice is tender, about 1 additional hour.**
• Uncover and stir in the peas and Greek yogurt. Dice the chicken and stir it in with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, then re-cover and cook for a few additional minutes on high until the cheese is melted. Serve warm, sprinkled with fresh parsley as desired.

Steps:

• Add butter and onion into a skillet over medium high heat and cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.

• Stir in rice, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, turn down heat, and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes.
• Stir in frozen mixed vegetables, cover, and let cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until vegetables are cooked though.
• Take pan off heat and stir in sour cream and cheese. Return the pan to stove and over low heat, let the mixture cook until cheese is melted, about 1-2 minutes.
• Garnish with parsley, optional and serve. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the salt and the thyme. Cook until the onion softens, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice and carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth and evaporated milk and stir in the chicken, the remaining salt and the black pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Stir, cover with a lid and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring so the rice doesn't stick to the pot.
