Crock-Pot Cheesy Chicken and Rice

A fun family-friendly meal, this recipe for Crock-Pot Cheesy Chicken and Rice is perfect for dinner or even taking to a potluck or party!

Crock-Pot Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Crock-Pot Cheesy Chicken and Rice came about as I was wandering around at the grocery store during a vacation to Tennessee back in May.

I had traveled there with my family and met some of my extended family to see Newsies on Broadway and tour some of the fun sights of Nashville.

We were trying to keep costs down thus, wanted to do meals at our rented condo.

As I was racking my brain trying to figure out what to cook, I grabbed my phone and started Googling.

My father prefers chicken meals so that is what I went with, and since my kids love rice, I figured we could come up with a nice combo.  Viola, I Googled recipes and found one from Corey at  Family Fresh Meals and felt it would work for our family and thought we would give it a shot.

There were 7 of us, so I doubled the recipe, but used 2 different slow cookers (didn’t have my biggest crocks with me, and we used one that the condo provided as well).

Outside of replacing cream of celery soup for cream of chicken soup instead, which was totally by accident, I didn’t alter the recipe.  Normally I just try and get an idea here and there, but no time or energy on vacation, so I’m giving all my credit to Family Fresh Meals.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts ( )
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion (chopped)

  • 2 cups Low Sodium Chicken Stock
  • 15 ounces Canned Corn (drained)
  • 8 ounces Zatarain’s Yellow Rice ((1 box – cooked according to package directions towards end of slow cooker cooking time))

Instructions

  • If desired, spray a 6 quart or larger slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray OR use a slow cooker liner. Place chicken breasts and chopped onions in slow cooker.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine together the cream of chicken soup and chicken stock and pour over the chicken and onions in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
  • During the last 30 minutes of cooking time prepare the rice on the stove-top according to the instructions on the package.

    Good recipe. First, being on a limited budget at the time, I cooked 1 1/2 cups of long grain rice in place of the Zatarain’s. It worked just fine. I did not remove any liquid, however. We did add some ground black pepper at the table as we felt it was a bit bland for our tastes. So everyone can adjust appropriately! Thanks for a great combination!

    Good recipe other then it is not gluten free, the Campbell’s cream of chicken soup or cream of anything has regular flour in it which then means theirs gluten in it… That’s what I googled and this came up saying it was gluten free…

      As per our notes on recipes marked gluten free we always suggest checking your ingredients for gluten. In this case there are gluten free cream of soups. For example Pacific Foods makes a variety that is gluten free.

    I entered this into the WW app and it comes up 11 pts. The cheese is the killer. Can you tell me what kind you used because my cheese comes up as 34 pts. And the Zatarains is 20 nd the soup is 4.

      Using the Weight Watchers recipe builder, this is what I put in to get to the 6 points per serving:
      – uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s) – 16 oz – 0 points
      – shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese – 2 cup(s) – 8 points
      – uncooked onion(s) – 1 medium – 0 points
      – Campbells Healthy Request Condensed cream of chicken soup – 10 1⁄2 oz – 5 points
      – Imagine Organic Cooking Stock, Low Sodium, Chicken – 2 cups – 1 point
      – canned yellow corn – 15 oz – 0 points
      – Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Yellow rice – 8 oz – 23 points

      So that is 37 points for the entire recipe. Divided by 6 servings comes out to 6 points per serving.

      Hope that helps!
