Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Long-grain white rice
- 2.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Add the uncooked rice to the slow cooker, spreading it evenly over the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth over the rice, followed by the cream of chicken soup. Stir gently to combine the liquid ingredients without disturbing the chicken at the bottom.
Scatter the frozen peas and carrots over the mixture. Do not stir.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and distribute them evenly across the top of the crock pot contents.
Cover the crock pot with its lid. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
After the cooking time is complete, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks.
Stir the shredded chicken back into the rice mixture, ensuring everything is well combined and creamy.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy chicken and rice!
