Tips for Success:
🔹 Don’t Overcook – Rice can get mushy if left too long. Check at the shorter end of cooking time.
🔹 Use Long-Grain Rice – Short-grain or instant rice may become too soft.
🔹 Add Creaminess – Stir in a splash of cream or a can of cream of chicken soup for extra richness.
🔹 Brown the Chicken First (optional) – For deeper flavor, sear chicken in a pan before adding.
Variations to Try:
🌶 Mexican-Style – Add taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and top with cheese & cilantro.
🍋 Lemon Herb – Use lemon juice, thyme, and a splash of white wine in the broth.
🍛 Cheesy Broccoli – Stir in steamed broccoli and cheddar cheese at the end.
Crockpot chicken and rice is a foolproof meal that delivers comfort with minimal effort. Whether you stick to the basics or jazz it up with extra flavors, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Perfect for meal prep, too!
