Box Brief:
Hell Week will kick off on Memorial day with Murph. Memorial week programming will include only hero workouts. Hero workouts are named after men and women who have lost their lives protecting our freedoms and ensuring our safety in this beautiful country. These workouts are always more challenging than our typical CrossFit workouts. Expect Hell Week to challenge you both mentally and physically. You can pre-order our new Hell Week T-shirt at the front desk. For those who complete all 5 days worth of workouts next week will earn the “I Survived Hell Week” badge on their t-shirt. It doesn’t matter if you scale any workout. You just need to finish. Let’s do this!

Recipe of the Week:
This Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole recipe is great when you don’t have a lot of time to cook.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 cup uncooked brown rice (I used short-grain brown rice)
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon rosemary
3 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1lb chicken breast, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup (4oz) 2% Greek yogurt
2/3 cup 3-cheese blend (I used Kroger Casserole blend)
Substitute: Monterey jack; parmesan; reduced fat cheddar
12oz raw broccoli florets

Instructions:
Step 1
Turn on the saute function on the slow cooker and set to low heat. Add olive oil, garlic and onion. Saute in the slow cooker for about 3 to 5 minutes until the onions are caramelized.

Step 2
Add uncooked brown rice, fresh rosemary and fresh thyme. Mix it all up and ensure that every grain of rice is covered in the seasoning.

Step 3
Pour in chicken broth followed by diced raw chicken breasts. Stir it up and pop the top. Cook on medium-high heat for 3 to 5 hours.

Step 4
When there’s about an hour left of cooking, stir it up then add Greek yogurt and cheese. Mix it up until it’s creamy.

Step 5
Place raw broccoli florets on top of the rice but DO NOT mix – let the surrounding steam soften them to ensure they are crisp tender. Secure the top and cook for remaining time.

Step 6
Season to taste with sea salt & pepper. NOTE: If you need to add more liquid, add tablespoons of chicken broth until you reach desired consistency.
