Description

This Crock Pot Chicken and Rice recipe is a comforting, all-in-one meal that’s creamy, flavorful, and super easy to make. Just toss everything in the slow cooker and come back to a hearty dinner with tender chicken, fluffy rice, and a creamy, cheesy finish. Perfect for busy weeknights or laid-back weekends.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • 1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup frozen peas or mixed vegetables (optional)

 

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Spray your crock pot with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. Place uncooked rice in the bottom of the crock pot.

  3. Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.

  4. Lay the chicken breasts or thighs on top of the rice mixture.

  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Pour over the chicken and rice.

  6. Cover and cook on Low for 4½ to 5 hours or High for 2½ to 3 hours, until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

  7. About 20 minutes before serving, shred or dice the chicken in the crock pot, then stir in the shredded cheese and frozen peas or veggies (if using).

  8. Cover again and let everything warm through and the cheese melt.

  9. Stir, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm!

Notes

  • Want a cheesy boost? Add extra cheddar on top right before serving.

  • Brown rice takes longer to cook and isn’t recommended in this exact recipe.

 

  • Great with a side of salad or roasted broccoli.
