This one-pot slow cooker lemon herb chicken and rice is a comforting and easy dinner that combines juicy chicken with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, making it perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pour in the olive oil, then add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary into the slow cooker. Stir until well combined.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then place it into the slow cooker, nestling it among the garlic and herbs.
  3. Add the long-grain rice, followed by the chicken broth. Zest and juice the lemon, then add that to the mixture.
  4. Stir everything gently to combine without disturbing the chicken too much.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, checking for doneness. The chicken should be cooked through, and the rice should be tender.
  6. Fluff the rice with a fork, mixing it gently with the chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For variations, consider adding vegetables like carrots or peas for extra nutrition and flavor. Adjust seasonings to taste, especially if you prefer a stronger lemon flavor.
