Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 carrots, finely chopped
  • 3 ribs celery, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • ¼ cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup instant white rice
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In the base of your slow cooker, combine the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, white wine, broth, salt, and pepper; stir. Add the chicken breasts (make sure they’re covered with the liquid).
  • Cover and cook until chicken is tender, about 4 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and use 2 forks to shred chicken into bite-size pieces. Discard the thyme sprigs and and bay leaves.
  • Stir the instant rice into the soup in the slow cooker. Cover and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes. Return the shredded chicken to the soup. Add the parsley. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve.
