Instructions:
- Prep the slow cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a touch of oil.
- Add ingredients: Pour in the uncooked rice, broth, and cream of chicken soup. Stir to combine. Nestle the chicken into the mixture.
- Season: Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings (like garlic powder or paprika).
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Shred & stir: Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and stir it back into the rice mixture.
- Serve: Spoon into bowls and enjoy as-is, or top with shredded cheese or fresh herbs for a little extra flair.
Tips for Success
- ✅ Check rice early: All slow cookers cook a little differently. Check your rice around the 4-hour mark to prevent overcooking.
- ✅ Use thawed chicken: For even cooking, avoid starting with frozen chicken.
- ✅ Don’t lift the lid often: Keeping the lid on ensures the rice cooks evenly and the steam stays trapped.
