Crockpot Chicken and Rice – Spend With Pennies [Video]

Simple meets satisfying in this easy crockpot chicken meal!

Crock pot chicken and rice is a full meal with tender chicken, vibrant veggies, and seasoned rice.

Both hearty and healthy, it’s a family favorite.

Chicken – Chicken: Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or switch to chicken thighs (about two thighs per person).

Vegetables – Onions, carrots, and peas are our favorites and a little bit of roasted red peppers add extra color and flavor. Feel free to mix it up with broccoli, sliced mushrooms, beans, or your frozen green beans or a frozen veggie medley.

Rice – I recommend instant brown rice for a quick cooking option that won’t get mushy. If you use instant white rice, reduce the cooking time slightly.

Sauce – Skip the cans of cream of chicken soup! This sauce is made with fresh ingredients like chicken broth, milk, and cheese for a homemade flavor and creamy texture.
