Spray the insert of the slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken in the bottom.
Mix together the cream of chicken soup, Lipton Garlic Soup Mix, milk, and regular rice. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Pour over chicken. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of rice mixture.
Cover slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 or 4 hours.
Remove chicken from slow cooker and chop. Place back in the slow cooker and stir to combine.
If rice mixture is too thick, add water, chicken broth or additional milk to thin out.
Notes:
Do not cook rice in advance. I used Great Value Long-Grain Rice.
To avoid sticky rice, rinse your rice before adding it to the slow cooker. Rinsing the rice removes excess start that causes the rice to plump and stick together.
This recipe is formulated to use long-grain white rice. I have not made this with brown rice. Brown rice and white rice are not equal substitutes. Brown rice uses more liquid and takes much longer to cook.
