I am sure this recipe has an official name somewhere. This is what you called it when you were little and the name stuck. This is perfect to make on a snowy day where you want to stay cozy in bed all day and read or play video games. It’s warm and gooey and fills your belly.
- 1-2 boneless chicken breasts (you can get away with one if it is big)
- 1 can of cream of whatever soup (the recipe originally called for cream of chicken, but I don’t like that. I always used cream of mushroom, but cream of celery would work too)
- 1 box yellow rice (we prefer Zatarain’s)
- 1 can of corn, drained
- 1 cup of shredded co-jack cheese (this is totally optional! It tastes great without the cheese, if you want to go dairy-free)
Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and dump the soup on top, covering each. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3 hours. Basically, it’s done when the chicken breaks apart with a fork.
Make the rice according to the package directions. When the chicken is done, unplug the crockpot and add the rice, cheese, and corn. Stir to combine. That’s it! Comfort food at its finest.
Hot tip: If you want to spice things up, try some Frank’s Red Hot Sauce on top. Dad likes it this way. (Get it? Hot tip …. ?)
