How to Make Saucy Chicken and Rice in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
The Low Carb Saucy Crock Pot Chicken recipe I made last fall instantly became a family favorite. It is perfect for families that have members who eat low carb and members who do not. While this Saucy Crock Pot Chicken and Rice is not low carb, you do not add the rice until the end. So you can easily pull some chicken and sauce out before adding the rice for any low carb people at your table!
I love how quickly this recipe comes together. You can easily mix together your sauce while your chicken is browning on the stove. I am notoriously slow when it comes to prepping a recipe (ironic right?) and can still get this recipe ready to go in 10 minutes! Easy peasy!

Wonderful recipe! And wonderful About Me!
Curious? Can you prepare this, freeze it, and dethaw it just fine?
I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe! I haven’t tried freezing the chicken and sauce for later, but think it might work. I wouldn’t try freezing the rice though but would just make fresh rice when I thawed out the chicken and sauce. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
I will! Thanks for responding!
Hi! Can I substitute half and half for the heavy cream?
I haven’t tried substituting half and half in this recipe, but think it might work. The sauce will most likely be thinner than it would be using heavy whipping cream. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
