Sdas Crockpot Chicken Or Pork And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• 1) Brown your meat on both sides in some butter or olive oil, or both,draining them afterwards. Now, you're just browning them up, not fully cooking them, because that'll happen in the crockpot.
• 2) Toss all the canned soups into your crockpot and stir 'em around all casual-like to incorporate each flavor with the others.
• 3) Loosely stir spinach again just to mix it in a little with the soups.
• 4) Add the uncooked rice.
• 5) Layer in your chicken or pork chops over that, single layer if possible, but if it's not, just fit 'em in there however you can.
• 6) Sprinkle dry onion soup mix over the meat. (Homemade onion soup mix, MSG-free: http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-dry-onion-soup-mix-110331).
• 7) Pour chicken broth into pot now.
• 8) Cover and cook on medium for 4 hours (or low for no more than 6, I'd think), but check for doneness or unforeseen rice drama around 3-1/2 hours and add more chicken broth if necessary, but no more than 1/4 cup or so. This all gets pretty thick when done, so don't let it sit in crockpot for too long after serving everybody or the lingering heat'll make it a gluey, gloppy mess. But you also don't want it RUNNY, thus the additional liquid caveat.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown pork chops on both sides.
• Lightly spray the slow cooker with cooking spray. Then place brown and white rice, onion, butter, peas, water chestnuts, and mushrooms in the slow cooker. Pour in water, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in onion soup mix, season with pepper, and top with pork chops.
• Cover, and cook on Low setting for 7 to 9 hours, or on High setting for 4 to 5 hours.
