        As the others have said, that's a big difference maybe change it to 1.5lbs? I have 4 chicken breasts coming in at 1.9lbs. Like seriously, it would be helpful to others if you edited you post. I almost cut the recipe in half unnecessarily.

      WOW what a mean remark. Just don't make it again, that should do you. To tell someone that their recipe tasted like slop was a little uncalled for. I don't know how long ur brother in law has been out of jail(since he knows what the food taste like there) but this does not taste like slop.

      I have never tried to freeze this. I am not sure how it would work freezing it with the uncooked rice, but if you cooked it and then packaged it really good to be frozen, it might work. Let us know if you try it. We would love to hear how it goes!

    We tried this last week. It was ok. I would probably change out the cream of chicken for cream of mushroom and use bone in chicken drumsticks and thighs bc they give off some flavorful juices.

    The chicken was fantastic, but we did think that the rice was too mushy. I will try Uncle Ben's next time, instead of Minute Rice. I would also put in some herbs next time, too, for a little bit of a flavor punch.

    I don't care for cream of chicken, it is way to salty. How would it taste if I just left it out or is there something else I can use? I have chicken base and chicken bouillon, would it be fine to just use one of those without the cream of chicken?

      I am not sure what you could use as a substitute. I have only ever made it with cream of chicken. I do know they sell low sodium cream of chicken. You could also use cream of mushroom or something similar.

      My son is lactose intolerant so we make a from scratch substitute of cream of ... soups. Here is the link to the one I use, I just like you add whichever seasonings you like.

    Hey there! My husband and I are newly married and I was asking my co-workers what they make when they're in a hurry and one of them recommended me to this site. She did warn me that the recipe was a little bland and that I might want to add some of my own seasonings so I did. My husband likes things spicy so I added some Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper and garlic powder. I wouldn't cook the rice in the crockpot because it does get mushy but if you use the minute rice it'll be quick and easy. Husband says it's an A+ and to keep this recipe in my file! :)

    I made this and wrote about it here. It was an easy meal but I used regular rice and it never cooked quite through. It was much better heated up with a bit of water in the microwave. We also topped ours with mexican jalapeno cheese for a bit of spice.

    I wish i could figure out the trick to cooking rice in the crockpot. So far I've had miserable luck with it.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    I made this last week and my family loved it! I didn't have sprite on hand so I used Mountain Dew (yeah, I know). I also had to use brown rice since I was out of white, so during the second half of cooking I turned the temp up to high (because I was afraid the rice wouldn't get done). It was awesome! And right before serving I added a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. They didn't need any cooking time since it was so hot. The whole thing was great, IMO. The chicken was so tender! Making it again tonight!

    Many of the reviews said this was bland & rice gummy so I expounded and added capers, chicken/turkey seasoning, juice/zest of 1 lemon, 3 cloves of garlic pressed, used Uncle Bens reg rice, and boneless thighs instead of breasts (bone in would have even been better). Yum!

      Hi Sharon! Go to our recipe index tab on our main blog page. There is a tab called side dishes/vegetables. You should be able to find all kinds of recipes to serve with the 7up chicken and rice. Maybe a green side salad for color. A roll or breadstick. Some type of vegetable dish. Hope this helps!

    I am going to try this recipe out for myself. But I think what I'm gonna do is mix the soda, soup and broth together and cook over the chicken. I will cook the rice separate and serve the chicken over the rice. That should eliminate the rice getting mushy doing the cooking process.

    I STARTED THIS AT 6PM AND DIDN'T TURN OFF TIL 7AM. I USED 3 LARGE CHICKEN BREAST, 12 OZ 7UP, FAMILY SIZE CREAM OF MUSHROOM, 1/3 C WATER AND TWO POUCHES OF KNORR RICE WITH THE FLAVORING ALREADY IN THEM. NEXT TIME I WOULD MIX THE LIQUIDS AND AND RICE POUCHES THEN POUR OVER THE FROZEN CHICKEN. WHEN I PUT IT AWAY I CLEANED UP THE SPOON. IT WAS YUMMY TO ME, THE RICE WAS MUSHY BUT THAT'S THE WAY WE LIKE IT. I'D GIVE IT A 5 STAR
