Creamy Crockpot Chicken and Broccoli over Rice

I've got to say that I was a little disappointed in this recipe, especially being the first one I've tried from Pinterest.  Now it wasn't horrible, but there are definitely things that needed to be improved upon.  For starters it was really bland, so I suggest adding salt and pepper... lots of it!  And I think putting it over the rice just made it that much more blah.  My kids and I agree that it would have tasted better on top some mashed potatoes.  If you insist on rice, maybe use some of the chicken flavored rice instead.  The chicken itself tasted wonderful though!  After soaking up all those flavors in the crockpot for almost 6 hours, yep that was by far the best part.

This recipe fit the tone of the day perfectly though.  It was a cool breezy day out, perfect for some warm crockpot cooking!  Among the many things that had to be done today, my son also had a baseball game this evening and the crockpot saved the day.  As always, we enjoyed a warm meal together at the table and you can't ask for more than that.  Overall it wasn't a complete bust and I'm sure that I'll make it again, but with my own twist.

If you want to check this one out for yourself, I have included the link.  I will try to do that with all the recipes I'm talking about.
