I recommend brown rice for this recipe instead of white rice as it's more hearty and able to handle the longer cook time from the crock pot. I do not recommend white rice for this recipe as it will likely turn too mushy.
If the mixture is too thick, gradually stir in more chicken broth at the end of the cook time until the meal is the consistency that you prefer (1/4 cup at a time).
Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
