Variations Ideas:
- Chicken – We used chicken breasts in this recipe but feel free to use boneless chicken thighs.
- Rice – Feel free to use brown rice instead of white rice in this recipe. We do not recommend using minute rice as it is already cooked and could get mushy in the slow cooker.
- Cheese – Change the cheese to what you prefer. Add in pepper jack cheese for a kick to the flavor.
Step by Step Instructions:
Step 1 – Place the cubed chicken and rice in a crockpot
Step 2 – Add the condensed soups, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine everything.
Step 3 – Cover and cook on LOW for 3 ½ – 4 hours. Stir in the broccoli florets and continue cooking for another hour or until the broccoli is tender and the chicken and rice are fully cooked.
Step 4 – Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover again, and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Chicken – Before placing the chicken in the slow cooker, cut in bite-size pieces. This helps it to cook quick and evenly.
- Rice – You will place the rice in the slow cooker uncooked.
- Broccoli – Add the broccoli towards the end of cooking time so it doesn’t overcook.
Serving Suggestions:
This Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Recipe is made as a complete meal in your crock pot. But we often serve this casserole with a side of homemade rolls and a side salad.

Thank you for this recipe Carrie we love it I was buying something similar at the store in a box and added chicken but when we tried your recipe it’s number one in our house along with a lot of of your recipes thank you so much for your great recipes and your time sending them to me I want to buy your book but I’m in a bind right now my rent has gone up again because we got new owners here hope you will have it later love you Wendy
If the rice was crunchy, it would need more cook time in the crock pot. Each crock pot cooks different so yours might not run as hot as ours does.
Rice ended up crunchy. Any suggestions?
