Ingredients
6 cups water
4 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
About 4 cups shredded cooked chicken (from 1 rotisserie chicken)

3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 medium bunch fresh cilantro, leaves torn or chopped
Asian chili paste, or sambal oelek, optional
Directions
- Put the water and broth, salt, rice and butter in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH until the rice is soft and soupy, about 6 hours.
