Similar to the favorite Spanish dish, Arroz con Pollo, this one-pot dinner is ideal for making in a slow cooker. The chicken, rice, and vegetables cook perfectly together, without fuss. Just combine the ingredients in the cooker, cover with the lid, turn on it on, and then you can go about your day. We’ve used chicken breasts but boneless chicken thighs could work here too. To give the rice a fluffy texture, you might like to toss the mixture with a fork just before serving. If you like your food spicy, double the cayenne. Serve with a simple salad for a hassle-free meal.
