– 4 **boneless, skinless chicken breasts** (or thighs for more flavor)
– 1 cup **long-grain white rice** (not instant rice)
– 1 can (10.5 oz) **cream of chicken soup**
– 1 packet (1 oz) **dry onion soup mix**
– 2 cups **chicken broth** (or water)
– 1 cup **sour cream**
– **Salt and pepper** to taste
– 1 tablespoon **butter** (optional, for extra richness)
– **Chopped parsley** for garnish (optional)
#### **Step 1: Layer the Ingredients in the Crock Pot**
– Start by placing the **rice** at the bottom of the slow cooker. Spread it out evenly to create a nice base layer.
– Next, lay the **chicken breasts** (or thighs) on top of the rice. You can season them with a bit of **salt** and **pepper**, but the flavor will develop as everything cooks together.
#### **Step 2: Prepare the Sauce**
– In a separate bowl, mix together the **cream of chicken soup**, **dry onion soup mix**, and **chicken broth**. Stir until everything is combined.
– Pour the soup mixture over the chicken and rice. Do not stirâthis is the âno peekâ part! Just let the sauce sit on top to ensure that the flavors meld together as everything cooks.
#### **Step 4: Add the Sour Cream (Optional)**
– About 30 minutes before serving, you can stir in **sour cream** for an extra creamy texture. This step is optional but highly recommended for a rich, velvety finish. Stir it in gently, and let the Crock Pot continue cooking.
**Step 5: Serve and Enjoy**
