I love my crockpot. Nothing is better than throwing some ingredients into the slowcooker, and then arriving home from work to a great smelling house and a done or almost done dinner!
I don't even remember exactly where I got this recipe from. A friend of my mom's, I think. It is SO easy and delicious. I will warn you, this does contain "cream of" soups, which admittedly are not the healthiest things to eat, BUT sometimes you just need something easy and quick.
*** EDIT: My sister just updated me that this recipe came from HER friend, Sarah! All I could remember was my mom handing me a tupperware bowl and telling me to try it, and I was hooked as soon as I heard how easy it was! I've made it dozens of times since then, and it's always good.
First you are going to mix one family size cream of chicken soup and two regular sized cheddar soups.
Just dump them in and give it a good stir. I usually add a fair amount of black pepper, but maybe only a pinch of seasoned salt, if any at all. The soups have enough sodium as it is.
Next I added two large chicken breasts, about 3/4-1 pound. These were huge, usually I would use 3.
Just poke them down until they are covered by the soup, and that's it for now! They need about 3-4 on high or 4-6 on low. But it's basically impossible to over cook this. It's not uncommon for it to cook more than 10 hours from start to when we are sitting down to eat.
Once the chicken is done, I just take my spoon or two forks and start shredding the meat. The longer it's cooked, the easier this will be. After 6 hours it just falls apart.
Next I steam a bag of frozen veggies and mix that in. I like broccoli, but carrots and/or peas are really good too!
The last thing is to cook your rice, which takes about 10 minutes typically. Then get yourself a bowl, load up with rice, and spoon the cheesy goodness on top!

If I'm feeling extra indulgent sometimes I'll add some shredded cheddar to the top, but it still has great cheese flavor either way. Enjoy!
