CHICKEN AND RICE
I have a great chicken and rice recipe to share with all of you today! This is comfort food at it’s finest! It’s delicious and super easy to make so it’s practically a staple at our house! I also love it because the kids love it and we all know how hard it can be to find an easy dinner recipe that the whole family is going to love! This Chicken and Rice should be on your menu this week!
CROCK POT CHICKEN AND RICE
Another thing I love is that I can throw everything into the crock pot and let it cook without having to put a lot of time and effort into making a family dinner. Then on those busy school nights with the kids running here and there to practices, etc. the dinner can be ready when we need it to be.
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND RICE
Simply throw the chicken into your slow cooker. Add the onions, chicken broth and soup and let cook for 4 hours (or 7-8 hours). Then when it is almost dinner time, you will need to boil the rice separately, but that only takes about 20 minutes. All you need to do is boil some water and then let the rice simmer on the stove for 20 minutes while you shred the chicken, and grate the cheese and set the table
for dinner. Then simply throw all the ingredients together and dinner is ready to go!

Hi Amy
My family and I made the chicken and rice meal. OMG is was so good and I made a double batch
I am so glad you all loved it! thanks for sharing!
We live this recipe and have shared it with other IP aficionados. I do have a question about the size of chicken breast halves you recommend. I have found they vary anywhere from 7-8 ounces to 16-18 ounces each. Approximate weight would help, as I sometimes sub skinless boneless thighs. Thanks for a great recipe!
Carolyn- I am really not sure how many ounces they are, but I would say more of a medium sized boneless chicken breast.
Thanks! We do love this recipe and plan to adapt it for my Instant Pot to have more options for fixing it.
Carolyn- It is fantastic in the Instant Pot! Glad you enjoyed it too!
