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!

I have the chicken in the crock pot today! Of course I forgot the onion so I had to make the executive decision this morning that we would just miss the onion! I’m pretty sure my husband won’t mind as he’s not a big onion fan anyway 🙂
I could not find the yellow rice at our store so my daughter and I decided we would fix it with parmesan rice, it’s a white rice by Zatarains. I’m hoping this will not be a mistake!
I’ll update with a review when after we eat it tonight!
I loved this!
I couldn’t get Zatarain’s Yellow Rice from my local stores, so I used a package of Sidekicks Mexican rice. It was great! Next time I think I’ll add even more rice!
Made this last night, but I put my own twist on it. I reduced the chicken stock to 1cup, & added a cup of enchilada sauce. My kids LOVED IT!
Do I use chicken stock or chicken broth? The ingredients say chicken stock but the directions say chicken broth.
Thanks
Either will work, but most prefer broth 🙂
Made this tonight and it was very soupy/watery. It tasted good but was hard to eat with a fork. Not sure why it turned out this way. Maybe cause my chicken breasts were kinda small??
Yes, that is probably why 🙂
