Step 1

Spray the inside of a crock pot with cooking spray then place chicken in the bottom.

Step 2

Cut butter into 6-8 pieces then arrange on top of chicken.

Step 3

Combine broth, soup, salt and remaining seasoning in a mixing bowl then stir until smooth. Pour over chicken.

Step 4

Cook on High for 3 hours or Low for 6 hours.

Step 5

If chicken was cooked on Low, increase temperature to High. Keep crock pot covered at all times to keep heat in. The rice cooks best when starting with HOT liquids.

Step 6

Remove chicken from crock pot then shred with two forks. Add chicken and uncooked rice to crock pot then cook on High for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Using a fork, stir rice, scraping the bottom and sides of the crock pot, once every 15 minutes. DO NOT over-stir the rice or it will break down and become gummy. Do not open the crock pot more than necessary.

Step 8

Check the rice after 45 minutes. My crock pot will cook rice in 45 minutes but all crock pots are different. Continue cooking for 15-20 minutes longer if needed until rice is tender.

Step 9

When ready to serve, stir once more with fork to fluff the rice. Serve with hot sauce if desired.
