Ingredients

• 1½ lbs (about 3 medium) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 cup uncooked brown rice (or white rice, if preferred)

• 2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 can (10.5 oz) 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup

• 1 cup diced carrots

• 1 cup chopped celery

• 1 small onion, diced

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• ½ cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Layer the ingredients:
   Spray your Crock Pot lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Add the uncooked rice, carrots, celery, and onion to the bottom.

2. Add chicken and season:
   Place the chicken breasts on top, then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over them.

3. Add liquids:
   Pour in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Stir gently to combine the rice and vegetables, keeping the chicken mostly on top.

4. Cook low and slow:
   Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the rice is cooked.

5. Shred and finish:
   Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and stir it back into the pot. If desired, sprinkle with cheese, cover for a few minutes to melt, then garnish with parsley.
