When you sit down to a hot, substantial dinner, it’s easy to remember the simpler times when grandma’s kitchen was the beating heart of the house. Dishes like this Slow Cooker No Peek Chicken & Rice are perfect for that. Tender chicken, rich broth, and perfectly cooked rice come together in this meal. If you’re short on time but still want a healthy dinner, this is the way to go. Originating in the heart of the Midwest, where humble materials are transformed into something extraordinary, this recipe has been cherished by families for decades.

The heavy creaminess of the meal is best cut with a side of buttered green beans or a crisp garden salad. Extra sauce may be soaked up with a serving of homemade dinner rolls or crusty bread. Pair it with some fruit salad or cranberry relish for an extra sweet touch.
