For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider browning the chicken pieces in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This caramelization will add a delightful richness to the final dish. Feel free to customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference. To prevent the rice from becoming mushy, avoid overcooking. If using the High setting, check the rice's doneness after 3 hours. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or a squeeze of lime for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
