Crockpot cheesy chicken & rice

This is my crockpot version of chicken and rice casserole. We love this and it re-heats well for leftovers! Enjoy :)




Ingredients:
1 1/2  California organic jasmine rice(this is the best rice, but you can use brown rice or regular minute rice if you want) follow directions on package for cooking rice.
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breast(or 6-7 tenderloins)
Dash of seasoning for chicken (I used mrs.dash garlic and herb)
1 cup organic low sodium chicken broth
1 batch of my home made cream of chicken (see earlier post for recipe) or 2 cans of cream of chicken if you don't want to make home made, but it tastes much better with the home made!
2% milk (or fat free)
2 cups frozen broccoli florets(or 1 bag)
1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese


Directions:
Place chicken in crockpot and sprinkle with seasoning
Add 1 cup broth, cream of chicken and broccoli and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours depending on how thick your chicken is)


When chicken is cooked pull it apart and shred or dice it into junks. Return to the crockpot.

30mins prior to serving make your rice, add your cooked rice to the crockpot and stir until blended. Add a dash of milk if its too thick and stir. Add cheese stir, let it set 15 mins or until cheese is melted.

I serve mine with biscuits and green beans! You can add salt and pepper to taste if needed.
