Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (185 g) long-grain white rice, uncooked (do not use instant rice)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) chicken broth
  • ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Season the chicken tenderloins with paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker, add the diced onion and garlic. Place the seasoned chicken on top.
  3. Sprinkle the uncooked long-grain white rice over the chicken. Do not use instant rice; it will overcook in the slow cooker.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the rice and chicken.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Once fully cooked, shred the chicken and place it back into the slow cooker.
  7. Gently stir before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
