Red Beans and Rice

What you Need

1 c Dry Red Beans (presoak the beans for at least an hour, then drain and rinse. This helps to get rid of the gas-y effect that beans tend to generate)
3 1/4 c Chicken Broth
6 slices bacon (sliced into strips)
1 medium onion (diced)
1 Medium Green Bell Pepper (diced)
1 t salt
2-3 Chicken Breasts
1 c Rice

Directions

Combine all ingredients, except for rice, in crock pot and simmer on low all day. One hour before serving, shred chicken, then add rice. Turn crock pot up to high and continue cooking till the rice is tender. I usually serve this as a one dish meal, but you can feel free to add whatever sides you like.
