Ingredients

  • 2  boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 3 cups  chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1½ cups  uncooked brown rice
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In a slow cooker, combine chicken, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and brown rice. Stir well.
  • Cover and cook on high for 3.5 to 4 hours, until the rice has absorbed the liquid.
  • Stir in shredded cheese, cover, and let it melt for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
-
  • Use brown rice for best results—it holds up well to slow cooking. White rice may become too soft.
  • If the dish is too thick, add more chicken broth (¼ cup at a time) until desired consistency is reached.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
Optional Additions
    • Vegetables – Add peas, carrots, or broccoli for extra nutrients.
    • Spices – Try paprika or garlic powder for an extra kick of flavor.
    • More Cheese – Mix in mozzarella or parmesan for a blend of cheesy goodness.
