Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in the crockpot.
Dice the onion and add it to the pot, along with minced garlic.
Step 2: Add the Liquids and Seasonings
Pour in the chicken broth and add the cream of chicken soup.
Sprinkle in the salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
Step 3: Add the Rice
Add the uncooked brown rice to the crockpot. Stir to ensure all rice is submerged in liquid.
Step 4: Cook the Casserole
Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 3½ to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
Step 5: Add Cheese and Serve
Once the rice and chicken are fully cooked, stir in 2 cups of shredded cheese. Allow it to melt (10–15 minutes).
If the casserole is too thick, add water or broth, ¼ cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
