Crock Pot Chicken and Rice
I usually serve this with a fresh salad.

  • 3 lb. chicken pieces (any cut)
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (or use cream of mushroom)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix

Combine rice, cream of chicken soup and water in crock pot; stir well to mix in soup. Place chicken pieces in a large roasting bag; add onion soup mix. Shake bag to coat chicken pieces thoroughly. Puncture 4 to 6 holes in bottom of bag. Fold top of bag over chicken and place in crock pot on top of the rice.

Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Makes 4-5 servings.
