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!

Instead of the rice I used mash potatoes and 1/2 a cup of chicken stock…. Was really good
Omg! This is soooo good!!!!!!! Thanks for the recipe! Its like once I start eating, I can’t stop! lol
I buy the bags of frozen chicken breast. So I made it with those from the frozen state. I cooked my on low for ten hours I also added some smokes paprika and basil. My family loves bold flavors. By adding the frozen chicken I there was enough liquid to just add the box of Zatarans rice uncooked and switch my crock pot to high I cooked it for 25 mins then added the corn and cheese. Let it cook for about five more mins rice was perfectly cooked. This way was easier for me because it became a one dish wonder. Thanks for these great recipes. I have 5 kids 4 are 4 or younger so not having to spend an hour on dinner is great.
Followed recipe verbatim. Turned out more like a soup.
I made this and it turned out very soupy. I was expecting a cheesy rice dish. Was so soupy I couldn’t tell I had cheese in it. Completed as directed on high for 4 hours. Flavor was great. Just wish it wasn’t soupy. Last thing my family wanted on a hot July night was soup .
