  • 1 cup Long grain white rice Rinsed if desired
  • 2 cups Chicken broth or water Warm or room temp

Equipment

  • 1 Crock Pot or Slow Cooker – 2-4 quart size
  • 1 Measuring cup – for liquid and rice

Notes

  • For more flavor, use broth and add a bay leaf or garlic clove.
  • Do not lift the lid during cooking, this affects cook time.
