Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
Rice Mixture
- 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup (1 can)
- 10.5 oz. cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
- 1 can water (measured from one of the soup cans)
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 2 cups Minute® rice (not standard rice)
Topping
- 1 oz. packet Lipton® onion soup mix
Instructions
- Prepare the rice mixture: In a large bowl, combine both cans of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups, one can of water, garlic powder, pepper, and the Minute rice. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Prepare slow cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the meal does not stick during cooking.
- Layer ingredients: Pour half of the rice mixture into the slow cooker base, then arrange the boneless skinless chicken breasts evenly over this first layer. Cover the chicken with the remaining rice mixture.
- Add seasoning topping: Sprinkle the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the top layer of rice mixture.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on HIGH for 3.5 hours. It is important not to open the lid or peek during cooking to maintain the correct temperature and moisture level for perfectly tender chicken and creamy rice.
- Serve: Once cooking is complete, serve the chicken and creamy rice mixture directly from the slow cooker. Enjoy your hearty and easy slow cooker meal!
Notes
- Do not substitute Minute® rice with regular rice, as regular rice needs more liquid and may cook unevenly or become gummy in a slow cooker.
- Resist the temptation to lift the lid during cooking; this ensures proper texture and moisture balance.
- This recipe makes 5 servings, perfect for family dinners or leftovers.
