Crockpot Chicken - Boring.
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made this for dinner and it was flavorless and yucky. A waste of good food. Definately not a repeat.

very easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this for dinner tonight. I must say that it most certainly deserves better that a 2 star rating. It is a little on... the bland side, but we added a little bbq sauce to it when we ate it. I did cook the rice separately, rice is something that I think just doesn't do well in the crockpot. When I plated the chicken on top of the rice, I allowed a little of the lemony/garlicy juice to run over the rice giving it that lemon/garlic flavor. The kids didn't jump up and scream for more, but they said it was something that they would eat again so... since it satifies my essential criteria of being easy and the ingredients are something I always have on hand, they will see it again.Read more

Chicken very moist
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Shanelle is correct. Just a little common sense!! The chicken turned out very moist with alot of flavor. I used chicken... stock instead of water & made the rice separately. I only had to cook for about 5 hr alos. Will definitely make again!Read more

use common sense people!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I read the reviews wondering why it sounded like such a delicious recipe but had only 2 stars, I must say to anyone that has... ever tried a recipe from the food network - use common sense. Obviously rice does not take 8 hours to cook. Even the food network is made up of highly imperfect humans - try using your head and cut them some slack! I really enjoyed this recipe and I completely agree with Erik's posting - it only needs 2 minor tweaks and it's delicious! Even my toddlers enjoyed the lemony rice. Try adding a couple of slices of butter and adding the rice in the last 1/2 hour if using white rice or the last 45 min to hour depending on the type of brown /wild rice you use! If you season it as the recipe states you have a very low sodium meal for those heart healthy - If you like more savory - add a touch more! Enjoy - and remember you're human too!Read more

Recipe needs a few tweaks
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I altered the recipe after reading some reviews. Used chicken stock (not low sodium) instead of water, an entire bulb of... garlic (never too much for me :), organic brown basmati rice, and slivered 4 tbl butter into it. 4 1/2 hours cook time on low. The rice came out pretty well (slightly sticky for basmati, but not mushy) and the chicken was moist. It was delicious. I will make this again. Read more

Trying again...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've tried this dish once before, and my husband *loves* it! However, I did read the reviews beforehand, and common sense... will tell most people that rice does NOT need to cook for 8 hours-despite what the recipe stated. Anyway, I'm sad that most people hated this dish so much. With a little improvising, it has great potential. I urge many of you to try it again, but as many have stated, shorten the cooking time (5 hours on low is plenty-but always check the chicken-never assume), and add the rice during the last 20 minutes of cooking, and make sure all of the rice falls to the bottom. Also, many people complained of it being too lemony which we did not find to be a problem; I'm not sure why that is. I think I may have also put a chicken bouillon cube in the water before I mixed the lemon juice with it. Delicious!Read more
