Equipment
- Crockpot
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 onion chopped
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz can
- 1.5 cups brown rice uncooked
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Place the chicken, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and brown rice in the crockpot. Stir to thoroughly combine all the ingredients.
- Cover and cook on high for 3.5 to 4 hours until the rice has absorbed all the chicken broth in the crockpot.
- Stir in the shredded cheese. Cover and allow the heat from the meal to melt the cheese (5–7 minutes).

Notes
For added flavor and texture, consider adding frozen peas or corn during the last hour of cooking. If you prefer a different flavor profile, substitute cream of mushroom soup for the cream of chicken soup. Always ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
