I cannot think of a cheaper ingredient to use to feed this large family of mine.
I love the simple one dish bakes that include rice and chicken.
But what I love even more is when I can use my crockpot to prepare a family meal.
I know what your thinking, rice in the crockpot?
Yes this is the best chicken and rice crockpot recipe I have found.
The rice turns out perfect every time I prepare it.
I guess you could say it’s almost fool proof and believe me when I say those are the safest recipes for me to prepare.
And for those frugal mom’s it is one of the $5 dinner meals I suggest when trying to get control of your food budget, one meal at a time!
