Easy chicken risotto

Instructions

1 Turn the slow cooker on high while preparing ingredients. Heat oil in a heavy-based pan. Add onion and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes over a medium-high heat. Add rice and stir for another minute to coat with oil. Transfer to slow cooker. Add stock, water, chilli flakes, carrot and celery.
