Equipment

  • Slow cooker or Crock Pot
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans 10 oz each cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ⅓ cup diced carrots
  • ⅓ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 ½ cups instant rice
  • 1 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 lb cubed uncooked chicken breast
  • ½ cup peas
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Chop the vegetables into small pieces and cube the chicken.
  • Add the cream of chicken soup and milk to the slow cooker and whisk until smooth.
  • Stir in the vegetables, rice, cheese, and chicken until well combined.
  • Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is cooked and the rice is tender. Add a little milk if it looks too thick.
  • Stir in the peas, season with pepper, and heat through before serving.

Notes

You can use frozen peas straight from the bag. If you prefer a cheesier dish, add an extra ½ cup of cheddar. A splash of milk will help loosen the texture if reheating leftovers. You can also swap the red bell pepper for green bell pepper or leave it out if you prefer a milder flavor.
