Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
2.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup unsalted butter, sliced
1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare your slow cooker by lightly greasing its insert.
Evenly distribute the uncooked long-grain white rice across the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the rice.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them on top of the rice layer.
Arrange the sliced butter over the chicken and sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the entire dish.
Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours, ensuring the rice is tender and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165F.
Stir in the frozen peas and carrots during the final 20 minutes of cooking. You can shred the chicken if you prefer, and then serve this delightful meal warm.
