Servings: persons

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts if you prefer)
3 -4 cups prepared chicken broth
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup pearl barley
1/4 cup Bulgar wheat
2 large carrots, fine dice
2 celery ribs, fine dice
1 small red pepper, fine dice

2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 turkish bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher sea salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)

1
Spray inside of 6-quart crockpot with cooking spray or add 1 teaspoon olive oil and coat inside of crockpot.
2
Add chicken (no need to cut it up, it will fall apart after cooking), and prepared broth.
3
Add grains, diced vegetables, and seasonings.
4
Stir to mix ingredients in the crockpot.
5
Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.
6
Remove bay leaf before serving, and season to taste as necessary.

NOTE: the first time I made this I used 2 1/2 cups broth; it was not quite enough as the rice was sticking to the crockpot. 3 1/2 cups of broth seemed to be a better choice, but it depends on your crockpot.
