Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Sprinkle the uncooked rice over the top of the liquid mixture. Do not stir.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. Stir the shredded chicken and rice mixture together gently.
  8. Sprinkle both cheeses over the top. Cover and cook on LOW for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve warm directly from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with another can of cream of chicken soup for a stronger chicken flavor.
  • For a brighter flavor, add 1/2 cup of frozen peas and carrots during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • If the mixture seems too thick when done, stir in a splash of extra chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.
