Do You Need To Brown Chicken Before Putting In The Slow Cooker?

No you don’t.  For this slow cooker casserole, I simply place the raw chicken tenderloins right into the Crock Pot.

How To Cook Rice In A Crock Pot?

My trick for preparing uncooked rice in a Crock Pot is to combine the rice with other wet ingredients.  Then I add the combined ingredients to the slow cooker.  This allows the rice to cook to perfection along with all of the other ingredients.

How Do You Use A Casserole In A Crock Pot?

Simple.  For this recipe, I am skipping the 9×13 casserole dish and using a traditional Crock Pot instead.  The Crock Pot does the same job as a traditional casserole dish would, when preparing this Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole.

You can use a Crock Pot shaped like a traditional 9×13 casserole dish, but it really isn’t necessary for this recipe.
