Easy, cheesy, and family please-y.
You’ll love this crockpot chicken recipe!
My crockpot gets a real workout in the summertime. When it’s sweltering hot outside, my slow cooker keeps the house nice and cool by letting me skip the oven.
My Crockpot Cheesy Chicken and Rice, has just about everything you could want for a family dinner. For starters, it’s hearty, healthy and filling, with chicken, rice, and corn all swimming in a rich, cheesy sauce. All it needs is a green vegetable to make it a complete meal.
It’s also super easy to make. Canned soup, canned corn, and shredded cheese make the prep work easy; pretty much all you have to do yourself is chop an onion. Just load it all into the crock, and the dish pretty much cooks itself.
Finally – and this is a key point for parents – it has nothing in it that the average kid won’t like. Corn, chicken, cheese, rice – it’s all flavors that most kids love. So you won’t have to work hard to make it, and you won’t have to work hard to get the family to eat it.

I made this tonight for dinner. Loved the flavours – would make it again but with a tweak. I found the long grain white rice I used got way to mushy and I even cooked it an hour shorter. (5 hours) My crockpot seems to cook a bit fast and I wasn’t sure what would happen. May try using a brown rice or one that needs more cooking and it might just work out perfect! Will try again. Very easy!!

Natalie says
What type of rice should I use?
Corey says
I used white rice for this recipe Natalie 🙂
MJ says
I assume you don’t use Minute Rice, but regular rice? Can you cook the rice and add it in the end with the cheese and corn? I’m thinking it won’t be mushy that way?

I love the flavors and the simplicity of this recipe but I found my rice disintegrated into the soup to form a gluey glob after trying it twice. The first time I cooked it for longer than the suggested time and the second time I did 6 hours. In the future I think I will just cook the rice separately and add it at the end. I’m also trying steamed broccoli instead of the corn.
MJ says
I made this recipe and although it tasted OK, it was very gloppy. So I ran out and got some tortilla chips and my family used it as a nachos type dip for the chips. It would’ve been weird to just eat a bowl of gloppy rice. I’m afraid I won’t make it again.

About how many pounds of breasts do you use? Your breasts look much smaller unless u cut two up smaller..i just dont want to put too much in and then it be dry..thanks
Amber says
Is the nutrition information for one serving?
Corey says
Yes.
Roni says
Where and when is rice added…I didn’t see that step. Thanks!
Corey says
You are mixing the rice and soups together in step one. That soup mixture is what goes on top of the chicken.
