Crockpot Cheesy Chicken & Rice
There is one word to describe this crockpot meal…. ADDICTING! The zest from the Zatarain rice, blended with the sweet corn and creamy cheese is AWESOME!
The girls loved it and asked for it again the next day. To add a twist to the leftovers, I sauted some baby spinach and then mixed in a serving of the Cheesy Chicken and Rice.
It added some green (which I love) and another dimension to the flavors. Hope you enjoy this easy family favorite!

Make sure to share it with me below!
could i use onion flakes instead of onion. i don’t want to have to deal with the onion. also how long before i serve do i add the rice, corn and cheese? i am cooking at my house to take to my friends. can i add it before i leave my house?
I just made this recipe. Was the first I have made from this site and have several more I plan on making. I ended up draining off about 1/2 cup of liquid (my 4 chicken breasts weren’t huge) and after adding the rest if the ingredients it was still very runny, almost the consistency of creamed corn. But the taste and combo of ingredients was awesome. Loved the flavor which is the most important part. I will definitely make again but reduce liquids
I’m cooking this right now! It smells really good! I didn’t dice the onions but left them in strands. Waiting to be able to shed the chicken and give everything a try! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
I hope you love it Mallory!!
Oh my gosh! This is sooooo good! My two year old is loving it as well! Probably because it has cheese and rice in it. Thank you for this simple yet delicious recipe! Adding this to my favorites! Yum!
I am soooo looking forward to making this but I had a question…. What size crockpot did you use? I have an 8 qt crock pot and I have had to double or even triple the ingredients to fill it enough to cook properly.
I used a 6 qt crockpot for this recipe 🙂
Making this recipe as I type. I did however find the same rice at my local Walmart where they have rice o’roni. I live in Washington state also, I’m seeing a lot of people not being able to find the same rice used in the recipe. Excited to taste this.
