Cooking MethodSlow Cooker
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts (although thighs would probably be better)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups gluten free chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (you can substituted dried if desired)
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme (you can substituted dried if desired)
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
- 5 tablespoons lemon pepper
- 2 cups rice
- 1/2 package frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Combine the chicken, wine, broth, mustard, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and 3 tablespoons lemon pepper in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 7 hours.
- When the chicken is almost done, separately cook 2 cups rice according to package directions.
- When the rice is just about done, add the frozen peas. Cover and continue to simmer until the peas warm up and the rice is fully cooked.
- Make a vinaigrette by whisking together the oil, vinegar, honey, and rest of the lemon pepper.
- Serve the chicken over the rice, and drizzle the vinaigrette on top.
