Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Rice

About This Recipe

Meal prep made quick with this Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken and Rice! Easy to make, versatile, simple ingredients, and packed with protein.

Ingredients

• 3 Pounds Chicken Breast (or Thighs)
• ½ Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 Teaspoons Minced Garlic
• ½ Onion (Chopped (I like Red here))
• 1 ½ Cups Rice (Brown (Best choice since it takes longer to cook) or White)
• 21 Ounces Cream of Mushroom (or Chicken (Low Sodium))
• 2 Cups Bone Broth (or Water)
• 1 Cup Cheese (Parmesan or Shredded (I like a Cheddar Blend))

Instructions

1. Take out your slow cooker
2. Add your fat trimmed Chicken into the bottom of it
3. Pour in the rest of your ingredients aside from your Cheese unless you're precooking your Rice
4. Thoroughly mix everything together
5. Put your lid on and let it cook on High Heat for 3-4 hours
6. If it ever looks like your Rice is absorbing all your liquid, add in another 1/2 cup of Water or Bone Broth
7. If you don't have time to stir it while it's cooking, try to at least give it a thorough mix 30 minutes before it's done. If you're choosing to add in precooked Rice instead of uncooked, this is the step you'd add that in!
8. Once your Chicken reaches 165F/76C, turn it off
9. Optionally shred your Chicken using 2 forks or a hand mixer (easy!) then stir in your Cheese until melted
10. Let cool and portion it out
