I'm a failure at chicken and rice in the crockpot

[letfuller]

I just can't seem to get it right. My rice is always still crunchy. I guess I won't have to make it again, but DH seems to request this on occasion. Now I really wonder if he really enjoys the meal or relishes in the fact that I continously FAIL at making this. Just thought I would cry on anyone's shoulders who might be needing to read of someone else's woes.

Not sure if this is what you might be looking for, but I have used this recipe and it has turned out fine for me....

Thanks for the new recipe. Looks yummy with the shrimp included. Not really sure what my problem is. Perhaps my rice is wrong?!

Minute rice works better but don't add it till the last hour.

If you use regular rice, make sure there's alot of liquid and it usually takes about 4-6 hours for the rice to cook. If your chicken cooking time is shorter, precook your rice before you add it.

try soaking your rice in water for an hour, or if you plan to start in first thing in the AM soak if the frig over night. Drain off the extra and then follow your recipe.
