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!

Sooooo good. 10/10 Will make again
Hello I want to make this but I’m wondering do I have to cook the rice first or can I put it in after the chicken is done
Has anyone tried this in an insta pot? If so what did you cook it on?
Thanks!
I have made this recipe many times! For comfort food on a cold night, I make it mostly as is but add a bit more seasoning: instead of chicken broth I use organic bone broth, add a tsp or two of worcestershire, Mrs. Dash, Old Bay seasoning, dry ground mustard, and thyme. On second night with leftovers, I go Mexican adding: green chilies, rinsed and drained black beans and a touch of taco seasoning. This recipe is so versatile and we love it. It’s good wrapped in tortillas!
I loved this! Do you by chance have the nutritional information for this? Like how many calories are in a serving?
