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’m thinking possibly just using a heavy cream in place of the soup? And taking out the corn? I’ll make my own rice and stock, and I think that that would fix it up?
That sounds like a plan 🙂 Can you do cream cheese?
No, he’s lactose intolerant. Which really is not cool I love cream cheese.
It is possible to make your own cream of whatever soup. Google how to make it online. And then you can make sure that you use ingredients that you feel comfortable using
I used cream of celery (ran out of cream of chicken soup) and I added black bean, boom they were so good! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Sounds yummy Nina! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Cooking this today…. I’m guessing its quite good for leftovers? The recipe makes a lot so As long as reheated well?
I plan on cooking this today! I can’t find Zatarain’s rice at any stores around where I live. Can I substitute brown rice? If so, what seasonings do you suggest I add in the absence of the seasoned rice?
I have only made this with Zatarain’s rice. Sorry! Any sort of Mexican rice would also work. If you cannot find that and only have brown rice, maybe use some salsa and cumin. I hope that helps!
cAN I COOK EVERYONE ALL TOGETHER ONE TIME ???
