Slow cooker chicken thighs rice and mushroom soup

There must be something wrong with the amount of liquid you use? I let this cook in my crock pot for 8 hours while I was away at work and came home to an over cooked mushy mess instead of supper. The rice was so soggy, and the chicken was dry as can be. There was no flavor at all either. I added extra s&p when I mixed it but it didn't help. I went out and got rice a Roni to serve with my overly dry chicken breasts. I will not be using this recipe again.

Would not make this again. Rice was mushy and chicken chewy. Over all flavour is bland and boring. This is a recipe for inexperienced cooks.

Ingredients & Variations

CHICKEN THIGHS: Chicken thighs are naturally juicy and they are the perfect size for portioning! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be used, too, just cut them into 2” pieces. Pre-cooked frozen chicken can be put directly into the Crock Pot and if time is short, why not just toss in a frozen bag of chicken or beef meatballs instead of the chicken?

SAUCE AND VEGGIES: Cream of mushroom soup and some chicken broth make this sauce savory and flavorful. Cream of chicken or cream of celery soup can be used for a lighter flavor. Mushrooms soak up all the delicious seasonings but chopped spinach, shredded brussels sprouts, or sliced carrots are also tasty optional add-ins.

MUSTARD: Choose grainy mustard like a stone-ground, Dijon, honey mustard, or a spicy variety. The darker colored mustards will add visual appeal and a depth of flavor to the dish. Experiment with other condiments like BBQ sauce or a jar of pre-made curry.
