Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
- 2.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for serving)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Rinse and pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the uncooked rice, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Stir until well blended.
Spread half of the rice mixture evenly into the bottom of the crock pot.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture in a single layer.
Pour the remaining rice mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered with the mixture.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the rice is tender.
Once finished, fluff the rice with a fork and shred the chicken using two forks if preferred. Alternatively, serve the chicken breasts whole with the rice on the side.
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of cooking or just before serving to let it melt slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy your Crock Pot Chicken Rice Casserole!
