Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch for fluffier rice.
Chop the vegetables and dice the cooked chicken or sausage if using.
Step 2: Assemble in the Slow Cooker
In your slow cooker, combine the uncooked rice, chicken broth, garlic powder, and any desired vegetables.
Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 3: Cook the Rice
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 2-3 hours, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Check and stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Add more broth if the rice absorbs liquid too quickly.
Step 4: Add Cheese and Protein
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked chicken, and any optional ingredients like cream or Parmesan cheese.
Cover and cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
