Instructions

In a 3-4 quart slow cooker, stir together the broth, carrots, onion, red peppers, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper.
Add chicken breasts, and cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
When chicken is cooked, remove and place on a cutting board.
Stir in the peas and rice to the slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 15 minutes.
When chicken is cool enough to handle, slice thinly.
After 15 minutes, stir the chicken, milk, and cheese into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 15 more minutes, until cheese is melted and rice is tender. Serve.
