We’re in the peak of cold, dreary winter weather (for most of us), so it’s ideal CROCK-POT / Pressure Cooker season! Dust off this make-your-life easier appliance to enjoy a ‘set it and forget it’, delicious Winter Warmup Chicken & Brown Rice Crockpot / Pressure Cooker Stew — YUM!!

Winter Warmup Chicken & Brown Rice CrockPot / Pressure Cooker Stew (serves 4)

Ingredients:

4 cups (1 box) Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
2 Medium-sized Chicken Breasts
1-2 Medium-sized Organic Sweet Apples (diced)
1 cup Organic Kale (chopped)
1 cup Organic Collard Greens (chopped)
1/2 cup Organic Squash or Zucchini
1/2 cup Instant Brown Rice*
1/4 cup Dried Split Green Peas or Lentils (optional)
1/2 Tsp each Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Turn crock pot on high and add chicken broth and chicken breasts. Or, if using a pressure cooker, there should be an option for stew or rice dishes.

Dice 1-2 medium sized sweet apples.

Chop 1 cup each of kale and collard greens. Dice 1/2 cup squash or zucchini.

“Add ingredients as you prepare or all at once.”

Add 1/2 cup instant brown rice. *Can use slow cook rice as well but will take significantly longer to cook in the crockpot. A pressure cooker can manage this with ease in less than an hour. Use the rice option to set correct time.

And, if you’re looking for a greater protein and fiber punch – add 1/4 cup dried split peas or lentils. Lastly, add 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly. Add additional salt and pepper as stew cooks (to taste) or leave for others to add upon serving. Keep heat on high until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Can reduce to low heat to simmer all day.

Smells and tastes delicious!!

Enjoy this Chicken and Brown Rice Stew recipe throughout the cold weather season. And, easy to freeze any left overs in jars or freezer safe containers for six+ months.
