This is a comforting meal in one pot! I love slow-cooker recipes where I can cook the starch in with the meat. This slow-cooker creamy mushroom chicken has the rice added at the end of the cooking time. I use Minute instant white rice because regular rice can get gluey-tasting in the slow cooker. This kind of rice has been precooked, then dried, which is why it does so well in the slow cooker. Get the recipe here.
