Some slow cooker recipes just dump everything in and hope for the best. This one earns its flavor.

Chicken pieces get a quick sear in Italian dressing (trust the process), then rest on a bed of long grain rice simmered with stewed tomatoes, dry white wine, and a hit of Italian seasoning.

The Brussels sprouts tuck in alongside everything, soaking up all that savory, wine-kissed broth as it cooks low and slow.

Feeds a crowd of eight, and all you need is 20 minutes of actual hands-on work.

Kitchen Tips

  • Searing the chicken in Italian dressing adds a tangy, herbaceous crust you won’t get from plain oil
  • Break apart frozen Brussels sprouts before adding so they cook evenly
  • Use a dry white wine you’d actually drink; the flavor concentrates as it cooks
