I cook chicken the same way. I usually cook 2 or 3 breasts in the crock pot with chicken broth. When it is done I shred it, while I am shredding it put a couple cups of instant rice in the broth ( i dont measure the rice just guess) and let it cook then add the chicken back in with a can of cream of chicken, make some corn bread and eat. My DH loves this he can eat it for days.
