Place the uncooked rice evenly at the bottom of the crock pot.
Pour the chicken broth over the rice, making sure all the rice is submerged.
Add the chicken breasts on top of the rice.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, minced garlic, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
Pour the soup mixture over the chicken breasts, covering them completely.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours (or HIGH for 2 to 3 hours).
After 3 hours (or 1.5 hours on HIGH), stir in the softened cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. If using frozen mixed vegetables, add them at this time.
Stir gently to combine, ensuring the cheese melts evenly into the dish. Allow the mixture to continue cooking for the remaining time.
Once the chicken is fully cooked and can be shredded easily with a fork, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot, mixing it into the rice.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this creamy masterpiece!
