Crock-Pot Chicken & Vermicelli Recipe {Easy, 3 Ingredients}

I put chicken in the slow cooker yesterday, and stared at it. lol! I’m so bored with food right now, I couldn’t think of anything to make! The weather is getting colder, so I’m craving comfort food. But, I’m busy and tired and don’t feel like cooking.

So, I wandered to the cupboard and stared at that stuff for a while. I saw the generic Rice-a-Roni and my mind wandered to recipes I’ve seen on Pinterest; I thought: Hey! That might work!!

Mustering up all my courage, I went for it!  First, I added water to the chicken in the Crockpot, then dumped in the flavor packet. I followed with the rice and vermicelli mixture and covered it. I set it to slow cook for 4 hours (my regular Crock-Pot doesn’t have a lot of settings, lol).

I stirred it twice, in that time. Twice. Not exactly hard work here, folks!

By late afternoon the house smelled AMAZING!  My family came out of the woodwork, asking when dinner would be ready. Then, at suppertime when it was ready, I uncovered it and stirred one more time. It was done, but how would it taste?

I was a little surprised at how incredible it tasted! There were just the right seasonings, and the rice mixture tasted — as my mom put it — “almost like stuffing”. I wondered if my family would think it was too done or too mushy. That’s a long time for rice to cook!  They did NOT think so; they loved it.

My husband had a good idea I think I’ll try next time: don’t add the rice and vermicelli right away. Wait, saute in a pan in oil until golden brown (as you would per the directions to make Rice-a-Roni). Then add it and let it soak up the goodness. That way it would be less cooked, a little crispier and a darker color. Don’t get me wrong, it was fantastic the way I did it. But, I think I’ll try the crispy way too. I like things crispy though! So, if you need super easy – just throw it all in and let it cook. If you want a little more crispy, you have that variation option as well.

I hope you love it like we did!
