Ingredients You’ll Need

You don’t need anything fancy here—just simple pantry staples coming together in the best way.

• 2 cups white Jasmine rice
  Jasmine rice is ideal for this recipe. It cooks up tender and fluffy while soaking in all that creamy goodness.
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  This forms the base of the sauce—rich, creamy, and comforting.
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  Adds depth and a savory richness that balances the chicken perfectly.
• 1¼ cups chicken stock
  Keeps everything moist and flavorful while the rice cooks.
• 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  Just enough to add warmth and aroma without overpowering the dish.
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
  A simple seasoning that lets the other flavors shine.
• 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  These cook up incredibly tender in the slow cooker.
• 1 packet Lipton® onion soup mix
  This is the secret weapon. It adds that classic savory flavor with just a hint of sweetness.
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  Optional, but highly recommended for a fresh pop of color and flavor at the end.

How to Make Crock Pot No Peek Chicken with Rice

This recipe is beautifully simple—perfect for days when your energy is running low but expectations are still high.

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps them cook evenly and keeps the texture just right.

Step 2: Build the Creamy Rice Base

In the bottom of your crock pot, add:

• Jasmine rice
• Cream of chicken soup
• Cream of mushroom soup
• Chicken stock
• Minced garlic
• Black pepper

Give everything a good stir so the rice is fully coated. This step is important—it helps the rice cook evenly and absorb all that flavor.

Step 3: Add the Chicken

Lay the chicken breasts right on top of the rice mixture. No need to push them down or cover them completely. The slow cooker will handle the rest.

Step 4: Season Generously

Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the chicken. Finish with fresh parsley if you like. As everything cooks, those flavors melt down into the rice and sauce.

Step 5: Cook (and Don’t Peek!)

Cover with the lid and cook:

• HIGH for 3½ hours, or
• LOW for 5–6 hours

And here’s the hardest part—don’t open the lid. Every time you peek, steam escapes, and that can mess with the cooking time and texture of the rice.

Step 6: Serve

Once the chicken is tender and fully cooked, you can:

• Leave the chicken whole, or
• Shred it right in the crock pot for a more casserole-style texture

Either way, spoon it into bowls and serve hot.

Helpful Tips for Perfect Results

• Resist the urge to stir. The rice needs steady heat to cook properly.
• Use Jasmine rice only. Other rice varieties cook differently and may turn mushy or undercooked.
• If your sauce looks thick, don’t panic—it will loosen as it rests for a few minutes.
• For extra creaminess, stir everything together at the end before serving.

Think of this dish like comfort food with training wheels—it’s very forgiving.
