CHICKEN WITH BROWN RICE & BARLEY (CROCK POT)
This is a nice warming dish, with boneless chicken, high fiber whole grains and vegetables. Great for an evening meal when you don't want to stand at the stove. Try this dish with different grain combinations: brown rice, wild rice blend, red rice, pearl barley, bulgar wheat, millet, rye or wheat berries. Be sure to add enough broth for cooking your measure of grain. Err on the side of too much rather than not enough liquid in the crockpot.

Steps:
- Spray inside of 6-quart crockpot with cooking spray or add 1 teaspoon olive oil and coat inside of crockpot.
- Add chicken (no need to cut it up, it will fall apart after cooking), and prepared broth.
- Add grains, diced vegetables, and seasonings.
- Stir to mix ingredients in the crockpot.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.
- Remove bay leaf before serving, and season to taste as necessary.
- NOTE: the first time I made this I used 2 1/2 cups broth; it was not quite enough as the rice was sticking to the crockpot. 3 1/2 cups of broth seemed to be a better choice, but it depends on your crockpot.
