Ingredients 🛒
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 1/2 cups water
Instructions 🍳
Prepare the Ingredients:
In your crockpot or slow cooker, place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom.
Mix the Sauce:
In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, dry onion soup mix, and water. Stir to blend the ingredients well.
Layer the Rice:
Pour the uncooked rice over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Add the Sauce:
Pour the prepared soup mixture over the rice and chicken. Stir gently to ensure the rice is covered in the liquid.
Cook:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The chicken should be tender, and the rice should be fully cooked.
Shred the Chicken (Optional):
If you’d like, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks for a more textured dish.
Serve & Enjoy:
Once cooked, serve the chicken and rice mixture warm. It’s a perfect family-friendly dinner that requires minimal prep time!
Tips 💡
Add Vegetables: You can toss in some frozen peas or carrots towards the last 30 minutes of cooking for added nutrition and color.
Rice Alternatives: If you prefer, you can use jasmine rice or brown rice, but adjust the cooking time accordingly for different rice types.
Add Extra Flavor: For a little extra kick, sprinkle some garlic powder, paprika, or thyme over the chicken before cooking.
