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!

Make sure to share it with me below!
Saw a couple other people ask this but there were no replies. Do you think this would freeze ok after its done??
I was wondering how you would go about popping this in the oven? This seems like a fantastic meal!
I’ve tried this and it’s great! However have you found any brand of the cream of chicken soup that doesn’t have all the additives/junk in it? I haven’t had luck :/
Thanks in advance!
We made this for dinner tonight. It is so good, my kids are asking for more! I don’t know if there is a difference between stock and broth, but I used chicken broth and it was runny. I added some cream of celery to it and took the excess juice out to make the rice. Everything turned out perfect! Thanks for posting this delicious recipe and for making my life easier with all of your crock pot meals.
Love this recipe I did change it a little however I added black beans and changed it to cheese rice instead of yellow. 🙂
