Easy Crockpot Chicken and Rice Casserole

This casserole features chicken breasts cooked with rice, cream of chicken soup, and mixed vegetables, all simmered together in the crockpot for a deliciously creamy texture. The recipe takes about 6-8 hours to cook and serves 6 people.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Layer Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle the rice evenly over the chicken, followed by the frozen mixed vegetables.
Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the crockpot.

Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
Add Cheese: If desired, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese during the last 15 minutes of cooking until melted.
Serve: Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the casserole warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
