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!

Hi! I was wondering if you’ve ever tried freezing the leftovers? We only need about 3-4 servings but it would nice to have an extra meal already made in the freezer. Thanks!
the corn just didn’t sound good but frozen peas are the magic touch! i love that yellow rice so of course it would make any dish yummy! not big on white meat either so thighs work really well. i just wanted to find a recipe for creamy, cheesy chicken that i could make my own. with a little tweeking, this rocks!
I ran to the store to get the Ingredients for this recipe and they were out of yellow rice. So I bought the Zararins Rice Pilaf! I’m scared….lol
Wish me luck 🙂
Sounds like a yummy plan to me! I am sure it will be great!
Made this for dinner today! It was delicious! Carolina rice makes rice with Saffron and without the MSG. My family was crazy about this dish and I made a little extra rice for another dinner tomorrow. I recommend this dish highly!
Thank you for this comment – there was no Zatarain’s Yellow Rice at my grocery store so I’m using Carolina – nice to know about the MSG.
Can’t wait to try this! It sounds so good! One quick dumb question- do you cook the corn first or does it heat in the crock pot?
Thank you!
Not a dumb question at all. It will heat up in the crockpot 🙂
