1 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 chopped onion
1 cup frozen peas and carrots.<>I used jarred minced garlic
1 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup (try to get fat free low sodium) >>Didnt use
1 10.5 ounce can cream of mushroom soup (ditto) >>I used 2 cans of this
salt and pepper
2 cups water
2 lbs chicken breast (I use frozen and throw in 4-5 pieces)



Directions

Mix brown rice, veggies, soups, water and spices in crockpot.
Put chicken on top (somtimes I have to shove some of it down into the mixture to make enough room for all the chicken--I need a bigger crockpot!)
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Cooking times may vary with the crockpot.
