WW Chicken Mushroom and Rice Slow Cooker Casserole
- Number of Servings: 7
Ingredients
2 spray(s) cooking spray 8 thigh uncooked boneless, skinless chicken thigh(s), about 2 1/2 oz each 2 cup(s) canned chicken broth, reduced-sodium 1/2 pound(s) cremini mushroom(s), sliced 1 cup(s) uncooked leek(s), white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced, washed carefully for grit 1 cup(s) uncooked carrot(s), thinly sliced 1 cup(s) uncooked celery, thinly sliced 3/4 cup(s) uncooked brown rice, medium-grain (such as brown Arborio) 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp Dijon Mustard 1 tsp dried sage 1 tsp table salt 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; warm over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and brown, turning once, about 6 minutes; set aside.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker; nestle the chicken thighs in the mixture. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours. Yields 1 chicken thigh and about 2/3 cup rice-vegetable mixture per serving.
Notes
Although a slow cooker takes most of the work out of cooking, there’s still no getting around the fact that browned meat adds more flavor to a stew, braise or casserole. Although this recipe calls for the meat to be browned in a separate skillet, there are slow cookers on the market that have inserts that can go right from the stovetop to the cooker — and that means there’s one less pan to clean up.
Serving Size: 1 Thigh and 2/3 cup vegie mix per person
