- 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crock pot.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the chicken.
- Pour in the chicken broth and uncooked rice, stirring gently to combine.

Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken; for creaminess, add cream cheese or sour cream during cooking. Ensure chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safety.
