this is the best chicken n rice i've ever made! we made the prep so easy by not browning the chicken, used canned mushrooms and precooked bacon bits, it turned out so delicious and you didnt need a knife to cut the chicken, it just fell apart it was so moist, we also doubled the rice, soup and water, added a package of boneless skinless thighs too. i am going to make it when my mom comes to visit next week, i cant wait!!

Thank you for sharing this recipe, Becky! We eat a lot of chicken and my husbands hates chicken breasts because they usually come out dry (he likes thighs which I don't like because they're too fatty). So. . . . this was a great recipe. It was easy to make and chicken came out moist and I left it in the crockpot for probably around 6 hours on high and 2 on low. I didn't brown chicken first; I just put all the ingredients in the pot in the order stated. I used canned mushrooms (soup can size) instead of fresh ones. Will definitely be making again!

I so wanted to love this recipe, but it was a disappointment. Flavor was good, but rice and chicken were done after 2.5 hours. Since I had timed it to cook for four hours to be ready when the family came home, I had to add more water and put the slow cooker on "warm." The rice got gluey.Also! I learned that you can't just dump a box of long grain and wild rice into the slow cooker without coating it first with cooking spray. No matter how much liquid goes on top of it, the rice will stick to the sides of the slow cooker.Totally agree with other reviewers who said that if you make this to serve six, there is not enough rice to go around. The box of rice clearly states that it makes 3 servings.Thanks, though, for the recipe. I will tweak it and probably try again.

Could this be made without browning the chicken first?? I understand I'd have to cook it longer, but that's not a problem since we're gone for 9 1/2 hours a day.

Used package real bacon bits and canned mushrooms. Loved it!

It was so disapointing. There was not enough cranberry tast. It really was a boring dish.

Wonderful & easy! We added a little more bacon, cause you can never have enough bacon! My 6 year old said he liked the rice & even the chicken!

This recipe is awesome! There is a little more prep than other slow cooker recipes...you have to cook bacon, brow chicken, and saute the mushrooms first, but it's worth it. Absolutely delicious! Particularly if you like mushrooms.

This is a great slow cooker recipe! I cut the chicken into bite sixed pieces before cooking it in the oil becuase I have a toddler at home. I omitted the butter and bacon to make a lower fat version and added one clove of minced garlic with the mushrooms to add more flavor. Tasted great!

One additional comment ... I agree with the other reviewers that the chicken came out perfectly moist. I cooked mine for 4 hours as the recipe called for.
