Anyone else a fan of super easy weeknight recipes? This Slow Cooker Chicken & Rice is one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made. It only has 4 ingredients and literally takes a minute to throw together. Not only is this Slow Cooker Chicken & Rice easy to make, but it also tastes fantastic! Everyone LOVES it!

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken & Rice with Cream of Chicken Soup
As I said, this Slow Cooker Chicken & Rice is SUPER easy to make. Put some chicken breasts in crockpot. Add some dried minced onion or onion powder and top with a can of Cream of Chicken Soup. Let the chicken cook. About 15 minutes before serving, make the rice. Shred the chicken, stir in the rice and that is it!
You can use any cream of soup that you prefer – mushroom, celery, chicken. I used a box of Uncle Ben’s Quick Cook Long Grain & Wild Rice in this Slow Cooker Chicken & Rice. You can make the rice the night before and refrigerate it. You can also use two packages of Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Long Grain & Wild Rice. Just open the packages and stir it in the with the shredded chicken. Both options are super easy!
This Slow Cooker Chicken & Rice can be cooked on LOW all day or on HIGH for a couple of hours. I’ve made it both ways and it tastes great. It just depends on how much time you have for dinner.

Can you use Instant white rice with recipe ?
any cooked rice will be fine
Any idea how to do this for Instapot? I’ve made this before as directed with the slow cooker and loved it but I totally spaced today and forgot to start it in time for dinner!
How much onion powder do you substitute for
I make this all the time. I use cream of chicken soup. I make white rice but I don’t add it to the crockpot. I serve the chicken over the rice.
How many servings is this?
Super easy and delicious. I follow the directions, wouldn’t change a thing.
So glad you enjoyed it, Jo!
