FIESTA CHICKEN WITH BARLEY AND BROWN RICE (CROCK POT)

I came up with this when I couldn't decide between chicken cacciatore or something more Tex-Mex. I also wanted a "real" meal without having to work too hard at it. We really enjoyed this. Other cuts of chicken can be used, although I recommend staying away from boneless skinless breasts because I think they tend to dry out in a slow cooker. Since every one's crock pots heat differently and grains can be tricky to cook in a CP, you may have to fool a little bit with the timing on the rice and barley. You could also make that separately and just add it in at serving time. Cooked the way I did it, it almost had a risotto-like texture to it.

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with pepper and lightly brown in a large nonstick skillet, 5 minutes on each side.
  • Place onion, chipotle pepper, and garlic in the crock pot, followed by the chicken.
  • Pour tomato juice over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle chicken with cumin, chili powder, and more black pepper.
  • Pour canned tomatoes & green chilis over chicken.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
  • Remove chicken, and stir uncooked rice and barley into the slow cooker (check the dryness at this time, too, and add some water or other liquid in if you need to).
  • Place chicken back on top and continue to cook on low for 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 more hours until grains are tender but not overdone.
  • Serve with cheese and sour cream, if desired.

CHICKEN WITH BROWN RICE & BARLEY (CROCK POT)

This is a nice warming dish, with boneless chicken, high fiber whole grains and vegetables. Great for an evening meal when you don't want to stand at the stove. Try this dish with different grain combinations: brown rice, wild rice blend, red rice, pearl barley, bulgar wheat, millet, rye or wheat berries. Be sure to add enough broth for cooking your measure of grain. Err on the side of too much rather than not enough liquid in the crockpot.

Steps:

  • Spray inside of 6-quart crockpot with cooking spray or add 1 teaspoon olive oil and coat inside of crockpot.
  • Add chicken (no need to cut it up, it will fall apart after cooking), and prepared broth.
  • Add grains, diced vegetables, and seasonings.
  • Stir to mix ingredients in the crockpot.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.
  • Remove bay leaf before serving, and season to taste as necessary.
  • NOTE: the first time I made this I used 2 1/2 cups broth; it was not quite enough as the rice was sticking to the crockpot. 3 1/2 cups of broth seemed to be a better choice, but it depends on your crockpot.
