CROCKPOT CHICKEN & MAGNIFACENT RICE MEDLEY

 If you "like" chicken and rice dishes, you are going to "love" this recipe!!! 

 Serves  6

4 chicken breasts
4 cups chicken broth
1 can mushroom soup
1 ½ cups rice medley*
1 medium onion
2 teas. Garlic pepper
½ teas. Dehydrated garlic
½ teas. Basil
½ teas. Oregano
·          
*NOTE:  I used an Organic Harvest Medley of rice from SunWest, a  3.2 LB JAR:   A gourmet blend of four uniquely  aromatic California rices:   CalMati Brown Rice, Wild Rice, sweet brown rice, and heirloom red rice.   I bought it from Costco , but you can order it online from  www.nextgenfoods.com  On their website it is called Organic Basmati Rice Medley.

Directions
 Place chicken in bottom of crockpot.
Add broth, mushroom soup, rice, and the rest of the ingredients.  (mix lightly in crockpot with spoon)
Cook in crockpot 5 hours on High or until rice is done. Break up chicken in smaller pieces.

Dissolve 3 Tablespoons cornstarch in ½ cup of water and stir into rice mixture.  Cook for another ½ hour on high until mixture thickens.  Add more broth if it is too thick.
