Easy, cheesy crockpot meal.

- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup

- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper
Instructions

Notes
- 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.
