Rice: Long-grain white rice cooks to perfection in the crockpot. Cheese: Cheddar cheese makes this casserole creamy and cheesy. Chicken Broth: Adds moisture to cook the rice and keeps the chicken moist. Broccoli: Adds nutrients and a pop of color. Soup: Cream of chicken and cream of broccoli soups enhance the chicken and broccoli flavors while making this dish super moist and creamy.
