Crock Pot No-Peek Chicken Ingredients

• 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup (1 can)
• 10.5 oz. cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
• 1 can water, measured from one of the cans above
• ½ tsp. garlic powder
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• 2 cups Minute® rice, not standard rice
• 1 oz. packet Lipton® onion soup mix

How To Make Crock Pot No-Peek Chicken

1. Mix the base ingredients: Add the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, one can of water, garlic powder, pepper, and Minute rice to a large bowl. Stir until well combined.
2. Prepare the slow cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
3. Layer the mixture and chicken: Spread half of the rice mixture in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the chicken breasts on top, then cover with the remaining rice mixture.
4. Add the soup mix: Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the top.
5. Cook without peeking: Cover with the lid and cook on HIGH for 3.5 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to keep the moisture inside.
6. Serve: Once done, fluff the rice gently, serve warm, and enjoy.

FAQs

Can I add vegetables to this recipe?
Yes, frozen peas, carrots, or green beans can be stirred into the rice mixture before cooking.

Why can’t I open the lid while cooking?
Opening the lid releases steam and heat, which can affect cooking time and result in undercooked rice.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes, boneless thighs work well and add extra flavor due to their higher fat content.
