This had a good flavor, but each time I made it, some of the rice was still hard. I don't know how the rice can be completely cooked in a slow cooker. I replaced the mushrooms with onions as that is what my family prefers. I tried it both with and without the bacon and preferred it without. The bacon seemed to make it too salty. I probably won't make this again since I can't seem to get it to turn out right.

It tasted OK but the chicken was dry. Maybe I should have only cooked it 4 hours.

This is very tasty and I've made it several times now. We like rice, so I use less chicken (3 breasts instead of 6) and I've made it without bacon, although it tastes better with it.

When it says to brown the chicken am I supposed to cook it all the way through or just brown the outside and leave the inside pink and then let it cook all the way in the slow cooker?

That's exactly what that means.  You're just putting a nice color on the outside of the chicken.

I'm a little confused... When it says to brown the chicken am I supposed to cook it all the way through or just brown the outside and leave the inside pink and then let it cook all the way in the slow cooker?

I'm new at this obviously. But this looks so delicious I want to make it
