Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker to prevent sticking.
Add the uncooked rice to the slow cooker and pour in the chicken broth. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring once or twice if possible, until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cover again and cook for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, until the rice is creamy and smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm.
Serving Ideas:
Serve as a comforting side with roasted chicken or grilled vegetables.
Add cooked chicken, mushrooms, or peas to turn it into a full meal.
Finish with cracked black pepper or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
Tips for Best Results:
Use long-grain white rice for the creamiest texture.
Avoid lifting the lid too often to keep the heat steady.
If the rice becomes too thick, stir in a splash of warm broth or milk before serving.
