Ingredients for Slow Cooker Chicken and Rice

My favorite thing about this recipe, except for dang good it tastes, is that it uses just 5 simple ingredients that I usually already have on hand. Check this list to see if you already have everything in house:

• Cream of Chicken Soup: You can use store bought or you can make your own. See section below for making it from scratch.
• Butter: I like to use unsalted butter so that I can better control the saltiness of the dish.
• Italian Dressing Seasoning Dry Mix: You can find this by the salad dressings by the other dressing packets.
• Chicken Breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts are what you are after. You can even throw them in frozen and it will work great.
• Cream Cheese: Full fat cream cheese provides the best flavor, but the less fat version works fine too. Avoid the fat free.
• Rice: You can make white rice, brown rice, pasta or mashed potatoes to serve with this creamy chicken.

The measurements for each ingredient is listed in the recipe card at the end of the post so keep scrolling for all the details.

Free up your oven by cooking your ham in the slow cooker! This slow cooker ham recipe includes a fabulous glaze and is perfect for Christmas, Easter or an easy Sunday dinner!

Every year I have the exact same issue, trying to prepare a holiday meal with one oven. I adore homemade rolls, perfectly cooked sides and a big, fat, juicy ham, so I don’t want to skip any of those recipes. The only problem is there just isn’t room to make everything and have it all hot and ready at the same time. Oven space is at a premium, people!

I really don’t know why I didn’t do this earlier. And I have to beg you for just a moment to give this recipe a try. This recipe is super easy! All you do is prepare the ham like normal but then stick it in a slow cooker for 4 hours. That’s it! Juicy, tender ham ready to go and you’ve had your oven free the whole time!

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Ham

This is a crockpot ham recipe and only uses a few ingredients for the glaze. Here is your shopping list:

• Crushed Pineapple: adds flavor and texture to the glaze
• Spiral Ham: Look for a 7-10 pound bone-in ham. If you’re feeding a smaller crowd, this recipe easily can be made with a 4lb boneless spiral ham as well, just half the sauce.
• Brown Sugar: adds richness and sweetness
• Honey: adds natural sweetness
• Dijon Mustard: adds flavor
• Sure Gel: My favorite thickener! It’s so easy to use and you can’t taste it at all!
• Ham Dipping Sauces: These are totally optional but we don’t eat ham without them!

The measurements and details for all the ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.
