Chicken & Rice

I threw this together the other day and it's the damn best chicken and rice I've ever made.

In a slow cooker put in about a pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and pour in enough Italian dressing to cover it. Cook on high until done, about 2-2.5 hours. When it gets tender enough, shred it with a fork.

Chop up some fresh veggies. About how ever much you want. Carrots, broccoli, onion, orange bell pepper and celery.

Cook up a cup of rice. The other night I used Jasmine rice which I love.

Mix the rice and veggies together in a large bowl. Drain the chicken and save some of the dressing/broth mixture. Add the chicken and a few generous spoonfuls of broth for moisture.

Dump in a can of cream of mushroom soup. If still dry add more broth or a splash of milk. Stick the whole thing in the microwave and cook some more for about 5 minutes. This will steam the veggies and soften them just a bit. If you don't have a microwave, steam for a few minutes on the stove.

Serve.
