I don’t have a slow cooker. If I put it all in a pot and bake it for 4 hours on 350, would that do?

  Hi – ok this is kinda tricky especially since I haven’t tested it. As a general rule of thumb the temperature of a slow cooker set to high is about 200 degrees F (a slow cooker set to low is about 170 degrees F). You can put all of the ingredients in a pot, set your oven to 325 degrees F and check it in about 1 hour. You want to make sure the chicken, rice and lentils are cooked through. You may need to add more broth if too much has evaporated and the lentils and rice are not yet fully cooked. Continue to check every 15 to 20 minutes for doneness.

Jamie, you replied to languagegirl that the chicken needs to be cooked properly but I don’t see any mention of chicken other that the broth! Also would regular white or brown rice work?

Thanks! It’s amazing that you respond to everyone personally.

  hey Funkyfrum!!! who else would respond? !! first ingredient is 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces, about 1 pound … also for sure white or brown will work (you may need a touch more cooking time with the brown — just give it a taste after 4 hours) – I love brown rice!! let us know how you like it.
