Even kids love it!*Update 4/11/19: Updated the amount of chicken broth because a few people reported having issues with the rice coming out crunchy. I have never had this problem and have made it successfully several times with the original 2 1/2 cups chicken broth.* If this is your first time making this recipe, since slow cookers vary a lot, I suggest building in extra time in case your rice takes longer than mine does. Further, older rice can take longer to cook than newer rice.
