5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice

Introduction

When you need a comforting, no-stress dinner that practically cooks itself, this
5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice is the perfect solution.
It’s warm, creamy, and filling—ideal for busy days when you want a hearty homemade
meal with minimal prep. Just add everything to the slow cooker and let it do the work.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker.
  2. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. In a bowl, mix the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder,
    and uncooked rice.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or until the chicken is fully
    cooked and the rice is tender.
  6. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
  7. Stir everything together and let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Description

This comforting dish brings together tender shredded chicken and creamy,
flavorful rice in one pot. The rice absorbs the savory broth and soup while
the chicken stays juicy and soft. The result is a cozy, satisfying meal that
tastes like classic home cooking.

Tips

  • Use long-grain white rice for best texture.
  • Stir gently after shredding the chicken to avoid mushy rice.
  • Add frozen peas or carrots during the last 30 minutes for extra nutrition.
  • If the dish is too thick, stir in a little warm chicken broth.

Correction

  • Do not overcook—rice can become gummy if cooked too long.
  • Avoid lifting the lid frequently to maintain even heat.
  • Ensure the chicken is fully covered by the liquid for even cooking.

Enjoy

Serve this slow cooker favorite on its own or alongside a fresh green salad
or steamed vegetables. It’s perfect for family dinners, meal prep, or cozy
nights at home. Simple, comforting, and delicious—enjoy every bite!
