Description
This Chaos Bowl Crockpot Chicken & Rice is a hearty, dump-and-go slow cooker meal featuring tender chicken, rice, veggies, and simple seasonings all cooked together for an easy family dinner.
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
Fresh parsley or green onions, for garnish
Instructions
1. Spray the inside of a 6-quart crockpot with nonstick spray.
2. Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of the crockpot.
3. Add the uncooked rice, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, onion, garlic, frozen vegetables, and all seasonings. Stir gently to combine, making sure the rice is submerged in liquid.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.
5. Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return to the crockpot. Stir everything together.
6. If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and let melt for 5 minutes.
7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions.
Notes
For extra creaminess, stir in ½ cup sour cream before serving.
You can swap the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery for different flavors.
Brown rice can be used, but increase broth to 3 cups and cooking time to 6-7 hours on low.
This recipe makes a great meal prep option and reheats well for lunches throughout the week.
