Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Fresh chicken works best for a juicy texture.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup Can be substituted with homemade or dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice Brown rice can be used, but increase liquid and adjust cooking time.
  • 2 cups chicken broth Vegetable broth can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots (optional) Can be replaced with other frozen veggies.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In your slow cooker, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until well mixed.
  2. Lay the chicken breasts on top of this mixture, ensuring they are covered by the soup for maximum flavor infusion.
  3. Sprinkle the uncooked rice over the chicken breasts, without stirring it in. Allow the rice to form its own layer on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Avoid opening the lid during the cooking time!
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, add in the frozen peas and carrots if using.
Serving
  1. When done, serve warm and enjoy each spoonful—it's a comforting hug in a bowl!

Notes

Consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor. This dish can be prepped a day ahead and refrigerated. Leftovers freeze well, which makes for easy future meals.
