HOW TO MAKE NO PEEK CHICKEN IN THE CROCK POT
Prepare the chicken breast: Trim any excess fat off of the chicken breast. Pat dry on both sides with paper towels.
Assemble the ingredients: To the bottom of the crock pot, add the rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken stock, garlic, and black pepper to a crock pot. Mix until well combined.
Add chicken and seasonings: Place chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. Pour onion soup mix and parsley over the top.
Cover and cook: Add the lid to the top and cook on HIGH for 3½ hours or LOW for 5-6 hours. No peeking or it will take longer to cook! Serve while hot, and enjoy!
RECIPE TIPS
- Mix the rice, canned soups, chicken stock, garlic, and black pepper together before adding the chicken breasts. This will ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed and the rice cooks properly.
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe as they cook evenly and are easy to shred once cooked if desired.
- Resist the urge to peek at the chicken while it's cooking in the crock pot, as doing so can cause the steam to escape and increase the cooking time!
- If you want to add some extra flavor and texture to the dish, try adding some chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers to the crock pot along with the other ingredients.
- Use pre-cooked rice instead of cooking it from scratch. Just add it to the crock pot during the last hour of cooking to heat it through.
VARIATIONS
- To add some extra heat to the dish, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño pepper to the crock pot along with the other ingredients.
- If you're not a fan of chicken breasts, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead. They will add some extra richness and flavor to the dish from the additional fat content.
- 4. To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free cream of chicken soup and onion soup mix. Check for any other ingredients for gluten.
- For a vegetarian version of this recipe. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and use canned chickpeas or white beans along with diced vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or eggplant in the crock pot.
STORING & FREEZING
Storing: Leftover cooled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing: To freeze, allow the dish to cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container or resealable freezer bag. It will keep in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then microwave or heat on the stovetop until warmed through.
