Could you substitute kale (I haven't looked at my superfood list) for the spinach? I love the flavor it brings!
Kale would work as a replacement for spinach.
do you cook the rice in the crockpot as well- or separate?
In the slow cooker with the other ingredients. Be sure rice is completely submerged in liquid…place on top of veggies, under chicken.
cooked chicken or raw?
Raw.
Raw.
This is simply the most delicious dish I have made from your vast listing of recipes! Love it!
I cut the carrots right? haha Im sorry if that is dumb. I just want to make sure. :/
Yes, cut those babies!

Chel_say, You are so welcome!
Is it possible to substitute something else for the spinach? Spinach allergy in my family, so I can't use spinach.
Tebner, Yes, kale would work great!

Dadejd38, Thanks so much!
This was so delicious, had enough for two days, so quick and easy to prep. boom!
Better than Grandma’s chicken soup!
It doesn’t say what to do with the chicken. Do you put the chicken breast whole and shred it after it’s cooked or do you cut it into cubes to cook?
Rochelle, Add cut up raw chicken to the recipe. I updated to make it more clear…thanks!
Are the mushrooms sliced or whole? Are the beans drained and rinsed or dump in with liquid? As someone who is not a natural cook and has to follow a recipe, I wish you were more specific.
Rachel, slice the mushrooms. Drain and rinse the beans in order to remove sodium but it’s not required. Enjoy!
