Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups uncooked brown rice
• 2 to 3 chicken breasts (depending on how many fit in the slow cooker)
• 1 bag frozen broccoli, cooked
• 5 medium carrots, sliced (don't forget to check the freezer)
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced or chopped (we've got dried mushrooms)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup  cream or milk
• 1 1/2 cup chicken broth 
• butter/shortening/coconut oil
• cheese, optional

Directions

Grease your slow cooker so that the food will not stick to it when cooked. Evenly spread the uncooked rice on the bottom of the slow cooker. Next layer the chicken, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, sour cream. Next pour around the edges of the slow cooker the milk and chicken broth. If you want a cheesy chicken and rice add cheese. 

Cook on low for 6 hours or until chicken is done. Shred the chicken with a fork and stir all to combine before serving.
