A slow-cooker traditional chicken & rice soup with a twist - lime and lime zest, to be exact! Sounds delicious! (cook times are provided, but use your discretion based upon your specific cooker) Ingredients:
2 (14 ounce) cans fat-free chicken broth |
1 celery rib, sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces |
2 carrots, sliced (1/2 inch thick slices) |
1/2 onion, chopped |
1 bay leaf |
1/2 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless (cut into 1/2 inch pieces) |
1 cup long-grain rice |
1 lime, juiced |
1 teaspoon lime zest |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon thyme (snipped or 1/4 tsp. dried) |
Directions:
1. Combine the broth, celery, onion, bay leaf, and chicken in the crock pot. Cover and cook on Low just until the chicken is almost cooked through, 4-5 hours. Stir in the rice, cover and cook on Low until the rice is tender - 1 1/2 - 3 hours. Discard the bay leaf. Stir in the lime juice and zest, black pepper and thyme. Cover and cook 5 minutes.
