I love the flavor of this Cheesy Salsa Crock Pot Chicken Rice! In the cookbook, they even suggested dishing it up on a tortilla to make a wrap! We are definitely going to try that out next time!

Cheesy Salsa Crock Pot Chicken Rice

I want to make sure everyone has success in making this, so let’s talk it out.

Cooking rice in the crock pot can be tricky. First and foremost, make sure you have the right rice. You want the long-cooking rice. If you use minute rice, it will turn to mush.  You will also want to be very exact in your measurements. If you have too little or too much water, it can drastically change the texture of your rice! And lastly, you want to watch your time. Learning how your crock pot cooks is always a good rule of thumb. Just because it takes my crock pot 5 hours to cook this doesn’t mean it will take yours that long to cook it. Cooking times always vary depending on size, shape and age of the slow cooker. So, know your crock pot, and we always recommend watching a new recipe very closely (particularly if it has rice in it!) the first time you make it.

So there you have three easy tips that will help you be well on your way to enjoying this awesome Cheesy Salsa Crock Pot Chicken Rice!

    Save-a-lot doesn’t carry any cheese soups. I used canned cheese sauce and canned nacho cheese. Both worked great.

    Shredded the chicken and made this into burritos to freeze for lunches.

      Great job making this recipe your own with what was available! I love the frozen burrito idea!

    If I wanted to make this with long grain brown rice, what changes, if any, would I need to make to the recipe?

      I haven’t tried this with long grain brown rice. Brown rice usually requires more water and a longer cooking time. If I gave it a try, I would look at my brown rice package and see how much water it requires for 1.25 cups of brown rice and adjust the recipe accordingly. I would also make it when I could watch it closely to make adjustments to the timing as needed. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

    This was a huge hit served with tortillas. I also added 1/2 lb chorizo browned with 1 hour left. Turned out amazing.
