Step 3: Season & Stir (Optional)
If you’re adding extra spices like salt, pepper, garlic powder, or herbs, sprinkle them in now. For additional vegetables, stir them in gently to distribute throughout the mixture.
Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
- Cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- You can also cook on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours, but the low setting yields a creamier texture.
Step 5: Shred & Mix
Once cooked, remove the chicken, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir everything together so the rice, chicken, and creamy sauce are well combined.
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Top with shredded cheese and let it melt for a few minutes with the lid on. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or green onions for a burst of freshness. Serve hot in bowls—and enjoy your heavenly dish!
