Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice – five ingredients and five minutes of prep is all you need. The slow cooker does the rest, to make this delicious, creamy, chicken dish that is sure to become a family favorite.
An Easy Crock Pot Recipe with Minimal Preparation
I love using my crock pot to make dinner. That way, I can do the dinner preparations in the morning. I can put everything in the slow cooker, let it simmer away all day, and come home later to a delicious, ready to serve, meal.
Some crock pot recipes require a bit of prep work, to cut and brown meat and/or to chop and saute vegetables. Other crock pot recipes, require minimal prep, you just add the ingredients to the slow cooker, set it and go. This Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice is of the latter, minimal prep variety.
I like to have both types of crock pot recipes in my repertoire, because sometimes I have the time for a lot of prep work, and sometimes, I do not.
This Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice is my mom’s recipe. She makes it every summer, when we vacation with her and my dad in Myrtle Beach. Their place is right on the ocean and when we’re there on vacation, no one wants to spend hours in the kitchen, we’d all rather be on the beach.
So, during our stay, my mom relies on a collection of easy, minimal prep, recipes, such as this Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice. My 8-year old son absolutely loves this Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice and he calls it simply, “Grammy’s Delicious Chicken.” Since my son loves it so much, as does the rest of my family, I often make it for us at home.
How To Make Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice
This Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice requires minimal prep and is so easy to make. It relies on some convenience items including cream of chicken soup – we use the low fat and low sodium variety – and a packaged seasoned wild rice mix.
First, add the cream of chicken soup along with some water to the crock pot and whisk to combine. Then stir in the rice and add chicken breasts and some carrots that have been peeled and cut into large chunks.
Put the lid on the slow cooker and set it to either low or high temperature, and that’s it. In about four to eight hours, depending on the temperature setting, a delicious meal is ready to serve.
This delicious Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice requires just five ingredients and five minutes prep time. It is sure to become a favorite of your family as well. This Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice is wonderful on it’s own. I also like to sprinkle some fresh parsley on top and serve with a tossed green salad.

Great chicken recipe!
I’m now gonna try to make it before my GF gets home (I’m in the dog house for forgetting our anniversary!!!) This is her favorite so hopefully it will do the trick.
Keep up the great work!
You are an amazing cook!
Fantastic dish Joy … I used a slow cooker bag to make the cleanup even easier, and tried a wild rice/quinoa mix. The chicken stayed so moist. Definitely a keeper.
Great, so glad you liked it! I will have to try the wild rice/quinoa mix, great idea!
I love my slow cooker! Sounds like a great dish. 🙂
This is such a delicious family meal!
That looks like such a comforting dish!
Crockpot makes everything taste so delicious! and it makes things easy especially for a lazy cook like me! This looks like a very easy recipe to make. Great job, Joy. 🙂
I really enjoy this kind of meal. I love the creaminess from the soup!
I too love a good crockpot meal. The crockpot is this magic tool. I pull out every once in a while and like you said you prep in the morning, put it in the crockpot and at dinner time tada dinner is done. This meal looks like a winner to me.
“Grammy’s Delicious Chicken” eaten at the shore – well, that has to be a winner!
Yes, I love throwing a few ingredients in a slow cooker and having a delicious meal – nothing like it.
I prefer the less prep slow cooker recipes like this one. I don’t know where I’d be without my slow cooker. It’s a life saver.
This looks fun, healthy, and easy! I love parsley as well, so this is something we will definitely use. thanks.
Mmmm! Looks so good!
This looks Fabulous! I am a huge fan of crockpot cooking as well. Looking forward to trying this, Pinned 🙂
