Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into small 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 medium yellow onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic diced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 15 oz can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 ½ cup brown rice (uncooked)
  • 4-6 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Add the chicken, black pepper, salt, dijon mustard, celery salt, paprika, yellow onion, garlic, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and, brown rice and broccoli florets to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on high for about 4 hours, or until the rice has absorbed all the chicken broth and is soft and tender.
  • Add the shredded cheese to the dish, stir, and allow to melt slightly before serving (about 5 minutes).

Notes

  • Make sure your rice, chicken, and broccoli are submerged as much as possible in the broth and soup mixture to ensure they cook thoroughly and the rice can absorb the liquid. 
  • Add a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a pretty presentation when serving.
