Ingredients
Method
- Add the rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken stock, garlic, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
- Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture.
- Sprinkle the onion soup mix and parsley over the chicken.
- Cover the crock pot and cook on HIGH for 3½ hours or LOW for 5-6 hours. No peeking!
- Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, serve while hot. Enjoy!
Notes
- Mix the Base Ingredients First: Before adding the chicken, make sure the rice, soups, stock, and seasonings are thoroughly mixed together. This ensures the rice cooks evenly and absorbs all the flavors from the sauce.
- Don’t Peek: I can’t stress this enough—don’t open the lid during cooking! It’s tempting to check on it, but doing so lets steam escape and can mess with the cooking time. Trust the process!
- Use Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: This recipe works best with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which cook evenly and are easy to shred once they’re done. If you prefer, you can also use chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
- Add Veggies: Want to make it even heartier? Throw in some chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers before you start cooking. They’ll cook right along with the rice and chicken, adding flavor and texture to the dish.
- Pre-Cooked Rice: If you want to save time, you can use pre-cooked rice. Add it to the crock pot during the last hour of cooking to warm it through.
