    Crockpot Cheesy Chicken and Rice is delicious and so easy to prepare! Six ingredients is all you need for this yummy crockpot dish. The name says it all - Cheesy Chicken and Rice. You can't beat that 🙂 Best of all your entire family is going to rave about how good this recipe is!

    Crockpot Cheesy Chicken & Rice

    You will start off by adding your chicken and some diced onion to your crockpot. You can cut your onion in big or small pieces however you prefer.  It really depends on how your family feels about onions.  If they are anti-onion you can use onion powder and they will never know.

    Only six ingredients in this yummy crockpot cheesy chicken and rice dinner recipe. This is a family favorite!

    Next you will need a can of cream of chicken soup. Just spoon or dollop it on top of the chicken and onion. Place the cover Cover your crockpot and let it cook away for the day.

    When it's almost ready to eat you will need to add some cooked rice. What I like to do is cook my rice the night before and just stick it in the fridge. Then you can dump it into the slow cooker and stir it up and give it a minute or two to get heated. You can also cook your rice soon as you get home, if you prefer. You will also add your corn and cheese.  Just give it a few minutes and then stir to combine, put cover on for 5 minutes and then serve it hot.

    Only six ingredients in this yummy crockpot cheesy chicken and rice dinner recipe. This is a family favorite!

    You will end up with an amazing dish of Cheesy Chicken & Rice.  I love to serve this with a side salad and Sour Cream Rolls.

      I really enjoyed this and I am a very picky eater. I used frozen corn and also added peas. Very tasty. I have a few little things I need to adjust for next time but it's something that will be on my list of things to make from now on.

      Thanks, this gave me a good idea and base for how I'm going to handle dinner toinght. It's 3:30pm now and I need it done by 6pm. Chicken will be from a can, sub O'Brien potatoes for rice and broccoli for the corn. Pretty much the same on the rest. Great way to start the ideas rolling!! Thanks 🙂

      This is cooking in my crockpot right now!!! My family doesn't like onions so we are skipping that part. Hubby is gluten free now so I love that you have some easy recipes for me to whip up and in a crock pot. Keep em coming! Will respond with the verdict after it's cooked. 🙂 (smells amazing though!)

      We love this recipe and have been making it often since we found it here. We have experimented and I have some suggestions to change it up if you like: We use frozen cooked rice. It's in the frozen food aisle with the frozen veggies - just throw it in the last 15 minutes of cooking with the frozen mixed veggies. We use the brown rice and we also use the fat free Cream of Chicken, Cream of Celery or Cream of Mushroom (my fave). My 6yr old picky eater granddaughter LOVES this dish. I have passed this along to many newlyweds as an easy, yummy dinner! Thank you for this.

      how much chicken would you say you used by weight? 1 Lb or 2? Different stores around me seem to carry different sized breasts. 1Lb at one store might be 2 large pieces while a pound at a different store would be 4 Small ones.

      I'm going to spice it up a bit by adding two cans enchilada sauce, a can of refried beans & some cilantro. Then maybe garnishing it with sour cream & serving with tortillas. I got the enchilada sauce, refried beans & cilantro idea from a casserole dish on pintrest. I'm preparing now, it should be yummy!

      Found your "8 Frozen Meals in 2 hours" recipes with the shopping list (most excellent - except could you add "Ziplock bags" to the list so idiots like me will remember to buy those too?) - then saw this recipe in the sidebar. Can this be prepped and frozen in a Ziplock bag, thawed, and then cooked in crockpot? I wondered if it would mess up the consistency. Thank you for all of your work. Looking forward to trying other freezer meals for my big, busy family!
