Why You’ll Love This Crock Pot Chicken and Rice Recipe
Hearty Brown Rice – Unlike long grain rice, like jasmine or basmati rice that get mushy, brown rice is heartier and typically takes longer to cook. Perfect for the slow cooker!
Simple Ingredients, BIG Flavor – We’ve found the best combination of staple ingredients that makes a wonderful cheesy chicken and rice recipe with ranch flavor.
Fabulous Leftovers – The flavors get richer as they sit together! Even when the rice gets a bit softer when reheated, it still holds up quite well and tastes amazing.
I guarantee that you will love it, and so will your kids!
