Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice

Once in a while, here on Efficient WAHM, I will post a new recipe, one of my own or one contributed by a reader. Figured I should start with one of my own for the first submission. 
I concocted it today. A lot of my meals are my own concoction, and I like to use the crockpot! It’s all about efficiency right? What better way to be efficient than to throw some stuff in a crockpot in the morning or early afternoon (if your’s is a fast slow-cooker…lol) and have dinner done, pretty much hands free.
Okay, getting to the recipe (finally, right?)
Oh yeah, did I mention I’m not much of measurer?!
4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, I used the frozen kind
a can of chicken broth, plus a little more I had left in the fridge
1 bag of boil in bag rice (I used brown)
4 to 6 cups of water (depends on the size of your crockpot)
a cup or so of chopped celery
1 small bag of baby carrots
1 small bag of frozen broccoli
1/4 chopped onion
garlic powder and pepper to taste (I just put some in there till it looked right…lol)
Add all ingredients except the rice to crockpot, stir around, and let cook. If your crockpot is fast like mine, I put it on high and it cooked in about 4 1/2 hours. I added the rice about 2 hours before it was done. I just dumped the uncooked rice from the bag right into the mix.
You may want to cut up the chicken first. We cut ours mid-way through, but it was already falling apart so it was easy, other than it was hot!
Serve with crackers or bread. Pretty yummy, if I do say so myself!
