Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken and Rice


I just had a conversation earlier this week with some awesome blogging friends about all of the different types of small appliances we own.  What we can/can't live with, what has earned a permanent place on the countertop, and other small appliances we rotate from counter to pantry.  In my house, one small appliance that has a permanent place on my counter is the 6-Quart Crock Pot.

The crock pot saves us time in the evenings.  When we are busy with sports, or Dave is busy in the fields in the spring, or we are both busy in the fall, the crock pot helps us get that delicious meal ready! 








This week I got together with some blogging friends, and we had a freezer meal party! A very special thanks to Indiana Family of Farmers for this fun experience.  Eight of us exchanged our recipes and took home 8 amazing meals that will help us get our family fed on our hectic evenings. Think about some of your favorite family meals.  They might be easy to make ahead of time and freeze.  It saves you money, because you are not eating out, and you might be looking for those special ingredients to go on sale. It's a WIN for YOU! Check out the 8 freezer meal recipes we shared that day!

If you think you would like to take a few hours, and have a freezer party with your friends, you should check out The Queen of Free, Cheri Lowe's blog about having a successful freezer meal day.  You will get most of your day by being very well prepared. 

I have had this recipe in the recipe box for a few years.  Since I started my job as a grain originator 14 years ago, this was a recipe I made the first fall I was very busy working long hours at the elevator. 


I use Campbell's soup for this recipe. 2 cans of cream of chicken and 2 cans of cheddar cheese.


Place chicken breast in the bottom of a Crock Pot sprayed with Pam cooking spray.  Use salt and pepper for taste.


Add all soups over the chicken.  Cover Crock Pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours or 6-7 hours on low.  When chicken is done, remove from Crock Pot and shred.  Add chicken back to crock pot and stir. Keep on low or warm until ready to serve over rice or pasta.

Electric Pressure Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Electric Pressure Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice



Woke up this morning to fog.  We knew beans wouldn't be cut very soon today. Then Dave sent me this picture of the beautiful sunrise this morning.



We have been using the electric pressure cooker very often, it has a permanent spot on our counter. Harvest has been running smoothly, and we sometimes use Sunday evenings to make a few extra meals to get us and the kids through a  few extra days.

I have made the Crock Pot version of the Chicken and Rice since we have been married.  I wanted to see how well this recipe works with the electric pressure cooker.





I used over 2 pounds of chicken breasts in this recipe.  I cut them in half because they were frozen. Added salt and pepper.  



If you would look in my cabinet, you will find lots of cream of chicken and cheddar cheese in inventory.  I always have this recipe in mind when I am thinking about the week's menu.  Preparing this meal in the electric pressure cooker gives me the flexibility to make it even on a busy evening.



This is what the meat and soup mixture looks like after it is pressure cooked after 30 minutes.  


The only thing I would do different, is put the cream of chicken and the cheddar cheese soup on the bottom and the chicken on top of the soup mixture. It protects the meat from searing at the bottom of the pan.    


Be careful of the hot pot, but you can use two forks and shred the chicken in the pot, or take it out and shred it and add it back to the pot.   It also is delicious served over rice! Try it, you will love it!
