Slow Cooker Instructions

  • In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine the rice, chicken, carrots, celery, shallots, broth, thyme, sage, crushed red pepper, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add ½ cup water. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
  • Shred the chicken with 2 forks. Stir in the cream, parmesan, and spinach. Cook until warmed through, about 30 minutes. Stir in the parsley. If the soup is thick, add an additional ½ cup water.
  • To make the mushrooms, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. On a baking sheet, combine the butter, mushrooms, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until the mushrooms are golden and crisp.
