Cheesy Zesty Crockpot Chicken And Rice

• 4 bone-in chicken breasts remove the skin
• butter
• chicken breast
• salt
• pepper
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
• 1 can green chilis chopped
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup white rice I use Basmati - but simple white rice is fine
• 1 1/2 cups milk I use whole but any is fine
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon celery dried
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup American cheese grated sharp
• fresh parsley Garnish with chopped, or thyme

1. Remove the skins from the chicken breasts. Spray a light coat of non stick spray inside of crockpot. Lay the chicken, bone side down in the crockpot and place a single pat of butter on the top of each chicken breast. Salt and pepper each breast as per your taste.
2. In a medium sized bowl, mix all of the other ingredients together except the American cheese.
3. Pour the ingredients from the mixing bowl over the top of the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Sprinkle 3/4 of the American cheese over the top and reserve the rest for serving. Place the lid on the crockpot.
4. Set crockpot on Low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. When ready to serve, shred the chicken from the bone using a fork and mix the meat in with the rice mixture. Discard the chicken bones. Sprinkle the remaining American cheese over the top and serve. Best served with a green vegetable or bright orange carrots - as in the photos here!
