Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice recipe is so easy the kids can help.

Cooking with your kids is a great way to teach the kids to help out with family responsibilities.

It is also a great way to get them on the path to eating healthy. Easy Crock Pot Chicken Recipes are a good way to teach the kids how to cook.

 

Cooking with the kids

My youngest daughter (17) and my two oldest granddaughters love to help me in the kitchen. My daughter is a very accomplished cook and can cook many of our families favorite meals.

My Easy Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice recipe is so easy that I decided to have Hailey, my oldest granddaughter (she will be 8 in two weeks) come over and make this easy crock pot recipe with me and then have dinner with us. She was very excited to help out today!

Uncle Ben's is all about encouraging kids to learn how to eat healthy.

Uncle Ben's wants to encourage as many kids as possible and get them in the kitchen cooking. This will help them make smart food choices.

 

This Easy Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice recipe can be made with leftover chicken, the meat from a rotisserie chicken or you can cook skinless boneless chicken breasts in the crock pot before starting the Easy Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice recipe in the crock pot.

Start the chicken in the crock pot early in the day. Once you have your cooked chicken the final recipe only takes a couple of hours from crock pot to dinner table since the chicken is already cooked.

Have your child put the cooked chicken into the bottom of a cold crock pot.

Next have him or her mix the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and salt and pepper in a bowl and pour it over the chicken in the crock pot.

Next, he or she will add the thawed and drained broccoli, rice and cheese to the crock pot.. Have them gently stir the ingredients, place the lid on the crock pot and turn the temperature to high.

Cook the Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice for 3 hours without stirring or until the rice is tender.

Helpful Tips for cooking with the kids

  • Select easy recipes.
  • Find easy age-appropriate tasks. Even small children can help with simple recipes. 3-year-olds can crack eggs and help stir a bowl.
  • Keep the kitchen safe by always staying close by when children are helping in the kitchen.
  • Prepare an easy crock pot recipe with your child. Crock pot recipes are some of the easiest recipes to make. Simply add all the ingredients to the pot and cook.
  • Mom or Dad can chop vegetables and allow younger kids to pour them in a bowl for mixing or a cool pot for cooking.
