Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 10-ounce cans condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups milk (plus ¼ cup extra if needed)
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ⅓ cup diced carrots
  • ⅓ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1½ cups instant rice
  • 1 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 pound cubed uncooked chicken breast
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Using a sharp knife and cutting board, chop the onion, celery, carrots, and red bell pepper into small, even pieces.
  • Prepare the chicken by trimming away any excess fat with kitchen shears or a sharp knife, then cutting it into strips and small cubes, about 1-inch pieces.
  • Spoon the cream of chicken soup into a casserole, Crock Pot, or 8-quart slow cooker, scraping the cans clean with a rubber spatula.
  • Add the milk and blend with a whisk until smooth. Stir in the diced vegetables with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the instant rice, shredded cheddar cheese, and cubed chicken to the slow cooker. Stir everything together with the wooden spoon until well mixed.
  • Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature) and the rice is tender. Check once during cooking and add ¼ cup milk if the mixture looks dry.
  • About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and season with black pepper to taste. Cover and cook just until the peas are heated through.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
