Crock Pot Chicken and Rice Recipe
Description
Chicken breast pieces are combined with minced garlic, chopped onion, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, uncooked brown rice, salt, and pepper in a crock pot. The mixture cooks on high for about 3.5 to 4 hours until the rice has absorbed the liquid and become tender. Stirring in shredded cheddar cheese while the pot is still warm melts the cheese into the dish, enriching the texture and flavor.
The brown rice provides a chewy, nutty base that holds up well to the long cooking time, preventing mushiness. Flavorful broth and soup infuse moisture and seasoning into the rice and chicken. The result is a creamy, hearty meal easily made with minimal active preparation.
Serving warm, this dish works well for casual dinners and can be customized with additional herbs or vegetables if desired. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, and adding extra broth at the end can adjust consistency if needed.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces, boneless skinless
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz can)
- 1 1/2 cup brown rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Place the chicken, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup and brown rice in the crock pot. Stir to thoroughly combine all the ingredients.
- Cover and cook on high for 3.5-4 hours until the rice has absorbed all the chicken broth in the crock pot.
- Stir in the shredded cheese. Cover and allow the heat from the meal to melt the cheese (5-7 minutes).
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Brown rice is recommended over white rice to prevent overly mushy texture after slow cooking.
- If the dish is too thick at the end of cooking, stir in additional chicken broth gradually to reach desired consistency.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
