Tips for making this chicken and rice crockpot recipe

This is a basic recipe that you could easily change up and make your own.

• Rice: For this recipe I decided to use yellow rice. I love the flavor it adds, especially with the cheese. You could also use cooked white or brown long grain rice. I make my rice using a rice cooker about 30 minutes before I am going to serve the dish.
• Veggies: Add in some veggies for added nutrients and color. When I make this dish I typically serve it with a salad or steamed broccoli. You could mix in chopped steamed broccoli into the dish, along with corn or cooked carrots. It is a good way to sneak in some vegetables.
• Cheese: It’s no secret that I love cheese so for this recipe I use 1.5 cups. Feel free to cut back on the amount if you don’t like your dishes super cheesy.

This really is one of my families favorite Crockpot chicken recipes. For more easy dinner inspiration be sure to check out these recipes.
