Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice with Parmesan Mushroom Sauce
We recently tried a new recipe for dinner, Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice with Parmesan Mushroom Sauce.
The family consensus is that it should be made again sometime, so of course it’s going to make it to the Recipe Box at My Organized Chaos.
It’s a take on Chicken Parmesan, yet a mushroom sauce substitutes the more common tomato-based sauce.
Instead, using the slow cooker, you get all that ‘Parmesan taste’ in the tender chicken and rice alone. It’s a very flavorful meal, definitely better to taste than to take photos of.
Best of all? It’s a crock-pot meal, meaning dinner is ready without the mad-scramble in the kitchen just before.
All you need to is add some greens {we opted for Caesar salad}, yet it would be great with green beans, a tossed salad or a mix of steamed veggies.

Omg, excuse me while I wipe the drool from my mouth this looks so delish! thanks for the share 🙂
This is a nice recipe, but I have a question…does the rice get starchy or does it stay nice and firm?
That’s a great idea, I never would have thought to add rice to the slow cooker. Definitely will have to try this. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the recipe. It sounds good. I’m going to try it and hopefully the kids will like it!
this sounds spectacular and I’ve so wanted to start using my slow cooker more, it’s so convenient to just throw it all in and leave it. Thanks for this recipe!
