Enjoy a comforting and customizable meal with this easy slow cooker rice recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice (jasmine or basmati)
4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
1 cup cooked, diced chicken (or cooked sausage for added flavor)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Optional Add-Ins:
1/2 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., broccoli, peas, or bell peppers)
1/2 cup cream or milk (for a creamier texture)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (for extra cheesiness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Slow Cooker:
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker.
- Combine Ingredients:
Add the uncooked rice, chicken broth, shredded cheese, and diced chicken to the slow cooker.
Stir gently to combine.
- Cook the Rice:
Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Add Optional Ingredients:
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in any optional add-ins like chopped vegetables, cream, or Parmesan cheese.
- Serve:
Once the rice is tender and creamy, stir and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm.
Tips:
Liquid Ratio: Adjust the broth amount based on the rice type; brown rice may require more liquid and a longer cooking time.
Cheese: Freshly shredded cheese melts better and enhances flavor.
Prevent Overcooking: Once the rice is done, switch the slow cooker to the “Warm” setting to avoid overcooking.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair this dish with a fresh green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
This recipe offers a simple and satisfying meal that’s easy to customize with your favorite ingredients.
