Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1-2 pounds cooked chicken cubed
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • 10 ounces frozen corn
  • 6 ounce box yellow rice mix I use Zatarains
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Spray the inside of your slow cooker with some non-stick spray or use a crockpot liner.
  • Place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle seasonings over the top of the chicken.
  • Pour in the diced onion, corn, and condensed soup.
  • Stir to mix. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  • 30 minutes before you serve, stir in the rice mix and the cheese.
  • Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes.
  • Stir and serve!

Notes

  • Line your slow cooker or use non-stick spray for easier clean up.
  • Use whole boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs and shred slightly before serving.
  • If it is a little dry, add 1/2 chicken broth to thin it out. Especially when reheating.
  • Be sure to use the rice mix and not plain white rice or brown rice. They take longer to cook and more water.
  • Toss in extra veggies like peas, green beans, or broccoli if preferred.
