Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Rice

Sometimes you just want good ole' chicken and rice. I love it baked in the oven but sometimes it's nice to throw it in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinner time. Converted rice (instant rice) works the best; regular white rice comes out crunchy. Let me know what you think! :D Serves 4.

Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Rice

4 chicken breast or other parts 
1 can cream of mushroom soup*
1 packet onion soup mix
4 c chicken broth
1 tsp garlic salt
Any other seasonings or veggies you'd like (4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp dried parsley, pepper, 1/2 tsp ground sage, 1 diced green onion, 2 sticks diced celery, 1 large diced carrot, can of green beans (drained), sliced mushrooms, etc.)
1 1/2-2 c. instant or parboiled rice

Mix mushroom soup, onion soup mix, broth and garlic salt (and any other ingredients) in bottom of crock pot. Add rice and stir. Place chicken breasts on top. Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
