Slow-Cooker Chicken Congee (Chinese Rice Porridge) image

Congee is a savory rice porridge often served for breakfast in China. Here, we simplify it by using boneless, skinless chicken thighs cooked with rice in a slow-cooker for a super comforting set-it-and-forget it dinner. Pick and choose from as many toppings as you like to dress up each serving.
