How to Make Mozzarella Chicken and Rice in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
This Crock Pot Mozzarella Chicken and Rice that I found in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker to the Rescue is so good! The only real “prep work” you have to do is chopping up half and onion and one green pepper. Even this meal-prep-challenged girl can do that in no time flat! And four hours later, you have have a delicious meal just waiting for you to devour!
Put your chicken in aSprinkle your salt, pepper, onion and green peppers on top of your chicken. Pour your pasta over everything. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Once your chicken has reached a safe temperature, give it all a stir. Sprinkle your cheese on top. Cover and cook another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve your chicken, cheese and sauce over rice.
Crock Pot Mozzarella Chicken and Rice Notes:
- We made the original recipe in a 4-quart crock pot. If you need more servings, go ahead and double the recipe and use a 6-quart crock pot. I have not tried doubling the recipe, but would say that the cooking time should be similar. Be sure and watch it closely the first time you make it to be sure.
- If you want, you can save a little extra cheese to sprinkle on after placing your chicken on your rice. Up to you! I like lots of cheese (if you can’t tell! 😉 )

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.

- The auto-calculation of nutritional information does NOT include rice.
- Finally, all crock pots cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
