Notes

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces so that it cooks faster and more evenly in the slow cooker.
Make sure not to overfill your slow cooker more than two-thirds full for best results.
Be sure to stir all ingredients together before cooking to distribute the flavors.
Use long-grain rice for better texture as other types (such as basmati) may cook too quickly or unevenly in a slow cooker recipe like this one.
