Gather ingredients: Begin by assembling all your ingredients on the counter. Chop the carrots and set everything aside, prepping for an easy cooking experience!

Layer chicken: Place the boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. This ensures they cook evenly and stay moist throughout the process.

Add rice: Pour the uncooked long-grain rice over the chicken, spreading it evenly. The rice will soak up all the delicious flavors as it cooks.

Season generously: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and dried herbs over the top. These seasonings are the secret to a mouthwatering dish!

Pour broth: Carefully add the low-sodium chicken broth, making sure all the rice is submerged. This will create a beautifully creamy texture as it cooks.

Top with veggies: Add the chopped carrots and frozen peas on top. They'll add color, nutrition, and sweetness to your hearty meal.

Cook on low: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The slow cooking will tenderize the chicken and meld all the flavors beautifully.

Serve warmly: Once done, stir gently before serving. The chicken should be fork-tender, and the dish should resemble a comforting, hearty meal.
