Step 3: With cooking spray, grease a slow cooker.

Step 5: Pour the broth into the slow cooker. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 6: Stir everything to combine, then cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes on high or until the rice is soft and the liquid is absorbed.

Depending on the slow cooker brands, cooking time may vary a little. I used a crockpot for this recipe.
