Crockpot Chicken and Rice Soup is a set-it-and-forget-it comfort meal featuring tender shredded chicken, soft vegetables, and fluffy rice in a soothing broth. Healthy, hearty, and perfect for busy days or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to the crockpot: Place chicken breasts, chicken broth, rice, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker.
  2. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and rice is tender.
  3. Shred chicken: Remove chicken, shred with forks, and return to the soup.
  4. Serve: Ladle into bowls and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Add spinach or kale in the last 15 minutes for greens.
  • Use brown rice for a nutty flavor and more fiber (increase cook time).
  • Stir in a splash of cream or Greek yogurt to make it creamy.
  • Use turkey breast or rotisserie chicken as an easy swap.
  • Add rosemary or a bay leaf for extra herbal depth.
