Crockpot Chicken and Yellow Rice Recipe

Ingredients List

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 large Vidalia yellow onion (chopped)

8 ounce box of Zatarain’s Yellow Rice Mix (cooked)

1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can whole kernel corn (drained)

chicken broth or chicken stock

black pepper (season to taste)

Directions

Trim all the fat off the boneless chicken breast and place it at the bottom of the crockpot. Remember to spray your cockpot with Pam cooking spray or use olive oil to avoid sticking. Add the chopped onion and cream of chicken, or you can also use cream of celery soup or cream of mushroom soup for a difference in flavor. Cook the large chicken breasts with a cooking time of 3-4 hours on high heat or medium heat for 6-8 hours.

Begin preparing the Zatarain’s rice according to the directions on the box, using the amount of liquid according to the directions; it usually calls for 2 cups water. As the rice cooks, shred chicken in the crockpot; if the chicken is tough to shred, it may take a longer amount of time in the slow cooker. Add the cooked rice, corn, and cheese to the shredded chicken and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes. Store left overs in an airtight container.

This meal pairs well with a dollup of sour cream and green beans on the side for a comforting dinner the whole family will enjoy.
